Rating:  Summary: Amazing Review: I read Perfume for the first time 4 years ago, and am still blown away by the story...
Rating:  Summary: A classic Gothic read. Review: This book was recommended to me by my professor as an excellent diversion from my thesis. He was right. I read this book in one sitting. `Perfume' is a beautiful mix of parable, Grimm fairy tale and erotic thriller. I love this book - much better written than Bram Stoker's Dracula. If you like Gothic, read this in front of an autumn fire and you will not be disappointed. I'm going to re-read it in German very soon.
Rating:  Summary: I never knew that scent was so powerful Review: This book is an excellent book, describing the life and ambition of a man who killed for a greater purpose. The black humour and the amazing details that the author describes really makes this a very readable book. In reading this, we are drawn into the mind of a murderer and also his ability to learn the art of perfumery for his own ultimate goal.
Rating:  Summary: Magnificent! Review: Simply Magnificent! Excellent symbolism between perfume and the true essence of individuals.

Rating:  Summary: LOVED IT Review: Very well written. Would recommend this to anyone!
Rating:  Summary: This book just smells like a fantasy life Review: The Perfume really is among the books that struck me the most. You can just smell certain scenes as the description goes, and imagine how your life would be if you were Grenouille. Besides, the whole plot,manufacturing a global, universal fragrance that turns every human being crazy and getting into that final orgy, is rather exciting. The development, the different steps te collect all those different fragrances, especially the smell of life and youth, is nothing but a true life-long commitment.
Rating:  Summary: This book kicks major ARSE ! Review: I am 16 years old and love this book, I got turned on to this book by the band Nirvana who has a song about this book. I read the book for the first time about a year and a half ago and haven't been able to stop since. I can identify with Grenuoille since I am a shy,reclusive person. So this book touched me that much more. READ IT!!!
