Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, by Patrick Sأ¼skind
Just finished this book last night and I must say it's one of the best fiction narratives I have ever read. Unique, to say the least, and so engrossing. Even translated into English from its original German, the story reads fluidly and brilliantly. I can't say enough about how great this book is.
I was thrilled to find out that filming has begun on a movie adaptation starring Dustin Hoffman and Alan Rickman! (But can a film do this remarkable story justice? It will be a difficult task, I think.)
Has anyone else read Sأ¼skind's Perfume? I know mord and LSN have. What do you think of it? Was it an incredible read or what!?
