Eh, not for me, I don't think. I was expecting a creepy tale but it just didn't engage me. The writing was okay, but nothing special, and it just didn't grab me. I also accidentally spoiled the ending for myself which sounds utterly bizarre and doesn't make me feel like continuing at all. I might...

A 2.5 star review.I'm having a really hard time figuring out how to review this. The plot was very weird, and the main character - though fascinating - was so entirely unsympathetic that I didn't even mind that he died at the end.Apparently this has been turned into a movie?

The first chapter of this book is outstanding! I was so drawn into the aromatic world that Suskind so brilliantly described, that I just had to read about Grenouille and his talent (or curse)Grenouille was supposed to be despicable even as a child.

Boring, at least for me, but I can see why people think it is well executed. The main character, Jean-Baptiste is totally lacking in emotion, and the story line breathes with the same meticulous clear step by step relating of the events. It all starts in Paris with the birth of Jean-Baptiste near th...
