Perfume by Patrick Suskind

What can I say about this book except wow! Grenouille is such an amazing character, so creepy and brilliant. I really enjoyed this book but did feel let down by the ending, bit of an anti-climax for me. Haven't watched the film yet and probably won't, as I like the version of Grenouille that I have in my head and don't want Hollywood to ruin it for me. Also I've been told that the film is quite gruesome and whilst I can deal with gruesomeness (is there such a word?) in books, I'm not so good with it on the big screen.

Definately worth reading.

Overall 4/5
