A stinker of a book

Date of Review:  Jul 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: Don't waste you're time or money on Perfume. There are plenty of better books out there.
Review: Perfume the only novel of Patrick Suskind's available in an English translation is a perennially decent seller. If you see it on the shelf today, it's packaged as a slick looking trade paperback (that's the bigger paperback that usually costs...

This Stinks of Hype

Date of Review:  Jun 9, 2005
The Bottom Line: I'd take a pass on this one because it never reaches the heights you expect it to.
