 Beautifully written May 19, 2008
I have nothing but praise for this beautifully written book. It's amazing how one can write about something that can only be smelt so realistically. The story is of an outsider and is portrayed not as someone that likes nothing and no-one but someone who is obsessed only with the world of scent.
Bit of trivia for Nirvana fans, this book was one of Cobain's favourites and the song 'scentless apprentice' was based on it. There you go if theres any reason to read it......
 The aroma of the soul February 24, 2008
There is good for reason for Penguin to reissue this novel as a 'Modern Classic'. It is a work of real imagination, evocatively written and beautifully crafted.
I read it back in 1992 and returned to it when the film was released (worth seeing incidentally). I'd forgotten just how captivating the narrative was, and how fine the writing needed to be to sustain the outrageous central idea: of murder in the cause of bottling the perfume of the soul.
Give yourself a treat and buy it.
