Some chapters I would think: "ooh, i like this, i like what the author did here" and others I would think "wth did I just read??"
Somehow it almost felt like the author himself was succumbing to insanity at the same time and speed as our main character Grenouille.
I loved the writing though, the vivid descriptions, and the perspective of smell. I found it all quite fascinating and has given me a few things to think about.

Interesting story but slow. The extended daydreaming sequences could have been entirely removed and made it better imo.
