A stinker of a book

Date of Review:  Jul 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: Don't waste you're time or money on Perfume. There are plenty of better books out there.
Review: Perfume the only novel of Patrick Suskind's available in an English translation is a perennially decent seller. If you see it on the shelf today, it's packaged as a slick looking trade paperback (that's the bigger paperback that usually costs...

Date of Review:  Jan 6, 2005
The Bottom Line: .
Review: EDITOR'S NOTE: I wrote this review back when I still trying to decide whether to approach a book review with gut feeling or discussing the plot itself. Unfortunately, I tipped too far in the latter direction, and give away almost everything in the...

This Stinks of Hype

Date of Review:  Jun 9, 2005
The Bottom Line: I'd take a pass on this one because it never reaches the heights you expect it to.
Review: I have a fairly strong sense of smell, so I can kind of relate to Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, the bizzarely scentless anti-hero with an incomparable sense of smell in Patrick Suskind's Perfume: The Story of a Murderer.

And you have to give...

Intoxicating Perfume

Date of Review:  Jun 1, 2000
Review: My mom handed me a copy of this 1986 first time novel by Patrick Suskind and told me that I should read it. It took me years to actually sit down and do more than start on it. But now that I have finally finished the book, I find that I can't get...

Can you smell the terror?

Date of Review:  May 30, 2000
Review: After getting this book for my birthday a month ago I was very skeptical of its content. However I was told that this was a very good book I didn't really believe it.
The second I picked it up and started to read, my opinion changed 100%...

The Story Of A Murderer

Date of Review:  Sep 19, 2000
Review: Most probably my favorite book of all time. I'm not quite sure any description I could give this book would do it justice. The ending was the single most mind-blowing conclusion to a novel that I've ever encountered. I never could have imagined a...

beautiful, graphic, evocative novel

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 1999
Review: Really a surprising and great read. From
the first paragraph you know you are in

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2000
Review: a fine argument for the preservation of the printed medium. capturing in the most efficient and effective possible way the one physical sense that dares and defies most writers and medias: the fickle sense of smell. and so nimbly written as to...
