Halfway through... the commentary is starting to become a grind. Does it get any better?

Yeah I don't understand why they even included it in that edition, it takes up most of the volume.

I understand its the main part, but this commentator just talks about kings and shit for like 100 pages

anyhoo the good thing is it's really short, and all the rest is just fluff so it's like a easy +1 to books read

I concur. I didn't think it was a particularly good poem (not sure if it was supposed to be), and nothing about the book as a whole moved or wowed me. A fun read, but I don't see where it gets its classic status from at all.

that's what Lolita is too... and Ada
You just don't like Nabokov, get over it.
