Title: Silly and Crazy Fun
Review: Pale Fire is a great reading adventure. You have to learn how to read it correctly as you go. At a certain point, not too many pages into the "Commentary" I figured out what was going on and started the Commentary over again.I needed 3 or 4 bookmarks to keep track of what I'd read so far and where I'd skipped to, during the joyful adventure of reading this all-time great book.Pale Fire has it all:Humor, fantasy, satire, cleverness, rivalry, rejection, redemption, craziness, sarcasm, hero-worship, and above all, Nabokov's spectacular mastery of English prose -- never more evident than in this tour-de-force of page-turning delight.Not only was this one of the most original books I've ever read, but one of the most fun and rewarding.
