Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind

2.0

---

So underwhelming and lacklustre. Even with an original premise and interesting subject, the book isn't gripping enough to keep you engaged all throughout; a bland execution to say the least. The writing wasn't bad, but it got piled under a richness of details that felt unnecessary and obnoxious at times. Also, the main character tragically went unexplored.
