basic summery: This book is something to get excited about. It's about this man called Jean-Baptiste Grenouille and his cynical outlook on life. His sense of smell is extremely developed and it's the strangest fictional "super power" I have ever read about. Human nature is completely dissected in his sardonic voice. Grenouille kills people in search of the 'perfect perfume' and the whole read is extremely excellent. This book has convinced me you don't need mind control or X-men powers to be a complete badass. It's as simple as being about to smell.
other comments: I told you there's murder. It's not a spoiler. The book cover tells you that much.
I also own it so you can borrow it if you'd like.
