Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind
4.0
Incredibly descriptive regarding scents, and disturbing...it's a book you can't stop thinking about. As a self-described scent junkie, this was a delight to read, right up to the mind-boggling conclusion.
I'm only saying this because I totally would have tried to read this book in elementary school (perfume? murder?? yes please!!) but I recommend this book for more mature readers, due to the sexual/brutalistic nature of some of the scenes. It's not horribly explicit that I recall, but definitely some things I'm glad I wasn't thinking about when I was that age.
