Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind
3.0
dark slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

there are a lot of things that happen in this book just because they simply happen. i found that there was not much meaning behind them, and that i was constantly waiting to be met with some overall purpose of why these things were happening. maybe this was the point of the book, but this made it slightly hard to keep reading. it’s matter-of-fact tone is certainly witty, but can become drawn out and at some points boring. it was also structured so that most of the plot happened in the last few chapters.
