I wasn't implying that you were a pedophile. I personally was expecting a little more from Nabokov after reading Laughter in the Dark. The basic plot of marriage gone awry that results in destruction was done better in Anna Karenina, imo. And I didn't like Anna Karenina itself that much.
While that book was written well, I think that novels need for both the plot and subplot to be interesting in order to be a good read. Anna Karenina had a good subplot in that it foreshadows Tolstoy's own spiritual crisis, but the actual tale of marital infidelity is something out of a soap opera. I'd argue the same for Dostoevsky's Idiot as well.
I'd appreciate it if anyone here could try to change my perspective.
