I can not thank you enough for recommending this book! I read it and it was so good. I did not expect it to be this entertaining and honestly was expecting it to be a more dificult read, because for some reason I think classics are going to be more difficult to understand. I loved reading the descriptions of the scents and how he mixed human smell from different items. And I also snorted a laugh at quite a few times.
Whoa, I adored this book. I didn't even realise that people knew about it: I just found it in the library, thought it had a gorgeous cover and an interesting premise, so I gave it a go. This was a great review, Roya. You really captured what this book is about. 😊
Great review! This book has been on my wishlist for a while, and your video reminded me how intriguing I found the synopsis - I'm going to go order it now, thanks! :D
Great review! I read the book quite a long time ago now but I remember loving it - maybe I should give it another read. It creeped me out and made me laugh in parts as well. Also, the cover on your copy is beautiful. :)
infinityandbeyond I know they have it on Amazon and the Book Depository. Just pop this ISBN 13 9780141041155 into the search bar. You could also ask your local bookstore to order it in for you.
I really enjoyed this book and the movie was pretty good, too. It actually made me quite interested in the subject of perfume and I have a little 'perfume' section on my bookshelf.
Urskrub Mcskrub he also stated that in an interview in 1993 that Perfume by Patrick Suskind was his favourite book and that he read it 10 times and that it was always stationary in his pocket everywhere he went and he would read it on an airplane if he got bored or that
RGsDevilship Judging by what I read, the movie sounds really messed up. I was wondering how it compared to the book. I'll read the book and perhaps not bother with the film. If you do watch it I'd like to hear your thoughts on the adaptation.

Mora N So glad you enjoyed it!
Great review! I've been wanting to read this book for a while. I'm a sucker for disturbing reads, haha!

Michelle Caron Thanks! It's gorgeous, I love the cover.
i just finished this book like 15 minutes ago and god damn this whole review is so dead on accurate to how i felt about it
It's been sitting on my shelf for a while now, while I don't really read horror type books I'm so intrigued! Very informative review, thank you!!
Nimi M It's not a typical horror novel, so don't be put off by that label. You're welcome. Cheers!
I know it doesn't matter, but the cover of this books is beautiful! I can't find a copy with this version.

***** That's so nice.
This is my favourite book.
Good write up.
Saw the film, and just had to track down the novel. ♥
I think I fancy you.
Kurt Cobain read this book and was one of his favorite books he says in an interview. Can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Didn't Kurt Cobain like this book a lot?
+Theblizzardking Supposedly he did.
he did. He said it in a review. One of their songs was based on it. It's called Scentless Apprentice

Wow! He had good taste. 😉
Yes
Own a copy, but have yet to read it. I'll have to read this soon.
Geek Pron Vlogs Read it. It's quite good.
There is a movie adaptation of this book, you should try and find it
Who writes these kind of things?
DreamWizard9 I don't know but I love it!
It sounds mildly disturbing and fascinating. Are you curious to watch the movie adaptation?
Rustydogz I watched the film years ago and was really confused by it. But I'll have to give it another go.
