A review by starzzz
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind

dark mysterious tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

When we finally got to the actual plot of the book, we were in the last hundred or so pages. I found it extremely slow and painful to truck through the second half.

I can see how it would be enjoyable to others (and it still was a well-written book), it was just not my thing.
