EDIT: I finally get it. This book is absolutely amazing.
Nabokov better be glad I have a soft spot for dystopian stories. Leaving this, I didn't really know what to think. I wasn't super into any of the random text dumps on behalf of Cincinnatus (although he is a writer so I guess it makes sense) and "the unexpected hanging paradox" was really the only smart thing that came to mind while reading. The issue's just that I didn't feel endeared to any of the characters or concepts presented here, really the most I can give it is that I like how the story has a claustrophobic aura fitting for its themes of control and freedom. On an objective/quality level it's quite good, but on an enjoyment level I'm not crazy about it.
