But I think my favourite part is that it reads like a text from the 18th century. I've read a lot of Victorian literature for both school and for fun, so I'm very familiar with the writing style of the time. I had to double check that this book was actually written in the 1980s - you could've fooled me.

I really enjoyed the book the ending had me shocked. I also enjoyed Grenouille’s character and how he was perceived and that we got to see his thoughts and dreams it added a lot more depth to his character.
