My fiancée showed the movie to me and I really liked it, so I decided to read the book. I loved the way Patrick Süskind describes smell. Every single scent he described was so vivid in my mind. I also loved the way he wrapped up the storylines and guided the reader through the different stages of Grenouilles life. It felt a little dragged on at times and it took me a really long time to read, but it was easy to read and the text flowed and I was interested the entire way through. The book was funny at times and thought provoking. The ending was crazy.

An easy, well-paced read with some interestingly inventive description that kept me entertained throughout. And on that note I think the translater is deserving of praise. But overall not as impressed by the plot as I’d hoped I’d be.
