Perfume: the story of a murderer

4.00 5

Perfume takes place in eighteenth-century France and is about a man, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, who had no scent of his own but had been gifted with the most extraordinary sense of smell.
Perfume is a bizarre, hypnotic and absolutely brilliant tale of horror. The depictions of the decadence of 18th century France are so vivid, you can almost smell the reek of the age and Grenouille is a mesmerising character, whose gift from God also proves to be his greatest weapon against good.

Foi o pior livro que li em minha vida, definitivamente. O começo foi incrível, a premissa realmente é muito boa e criativa, mas o desenvolver da história foi péssimo. A partir do capítulo dez a coisa ficou bem chata, o personagem começou a agir de forma ridículo e sem noção. Esta história poderia te...

4/5 stars This book. Wow. I started off wanting more than anything to love it, looking past any of the little things that bugged me. Suskind wrote in long sentences. At times he seemed to lose his train of thought only to hurriedly finish the thought at the end of a daunting sentence. He also would ...
