peoples' outrage at this book appears to be inversely proportional to how much they have read or understood it.

It has been years since I read Lolita, but I don't think that one comes away from it with any insights into the mind of the pedophile. It was pretty clear in reading it that it was a grim story underneath, something intermittently mentioned by the narrator.
