Helpful Score: 2

The story of a fairly deranged murderer, obsessed with creating the perfect perfume as he possesses no smell from himself. Set in 18th century France this book overflows with historical details and images varying from grotesque to sublime. A very, very entertaining story, and as I understand - soon to be presented as a movie. How that is supposed to work I don't get; as much of this story is described as scents...
