Wow. Definitely a unique and disturbing story. When I first finished it, I wasn't sure if I like it or not. I was completely stunned by the ending.

The book started strong, it will hook you right from the first page and it jumped start your sense of smell immediately. Clearly beautifully written and incredible atmospheric. I mean, as I was reading, I could almost smell the scents that he described. This horror story isn't like any other and the more you read the more you'll uncover the dark layers.

The main character, the murderer, Jean Baptiste Grenouille, is cleverly created. His obsession with scents and achieving the perfect one made him terrifying.

That said, there's a part in the middle of the book which I felt was quite draggy and the story picked up its pace again towards the end. Ahhhh the last part and the ending! I still don't know how I feel about it.

But all in all, this more than just a book, for sure. This is a work of art.
