A review by theunreasonablewoman
Het parfum by Patrick Süskind

dark funny mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

This may sound like I'm lying because the book has such a dark plot, but reading it feels lighthearted most of the time! The lack of fighting, challenging and questioning the main character's monstrousness, combined with the funny, dry writing was unexpected and refreshing.
