Perfume had the most beautiful, dare I say fragrant writing I have read in a long time. So incredibly rich in imagery that drowns you in the twisted mind of Grenouille.
This is must re-read for me in the near future!

So, so good. This is how you write a story. It has everything - engrossing characters, poetry, mystery, murder, masterful descriptive exposition. This is a must-read for everyone. It's pure magic.
