Perfume
book — Germany — 1985

9.5
At last something great! Amazing! It feels like heaven. The story of the Nose. The man who knew everything about aromas but nothing about anything else and was a one of a kind criminal. I don`t want to tell you the plot, because it would make no sense doing so. Also I would like to mention that it was the first book I read in German in the last few years, but even despite the problems with the language which very disturbing at first, I certainly felt what a great master of words Sueskind is. An absolute must for every fan of modern literature, although there`s nothing crazy about the book that you could discuss among `the cool people`. It just strikes you like a thunderbolt and there`s nothing more to it.
