“Het parfum” is een zeer zorgvuldig geschreven psychologische thriller dat zich afspeelt in de 18de eeuw, specifieker de vieze, stinkende en de rijke straten van Parijs. Hij opent een nieuwe manier van denken in je brein. Je gaat op een rollercoaster van emoties: ervaar verdriet, woede, eenzaamheid, avontuur,, wanhoop en pijn. Vreugde, opluchting, hoop en vrede. Het boek maakte me zo kwaad dat ik alle personages levend wou begraven, maar soms kon je niet anders dan empathie voelen met elk personage.

Had to read it for school
( 10. Grade German Gymnasium )
Kind of really loved it because of the writing style and the descriptions and how the author explains the mind of the main character.
Some scenes were just absolutely crazy but I also liked that + it added to the whole “vibe” of the book which is mostly just Person with the best nose and memory but fucked up in the brain because of childhood trauma.
Idk if this explains it very well.
