Perfume the story of a murderer

When a friend of mine know that I'm making a blog about book reviews he immediately tell me to write about "Perfume the story of a murderer" written by Patrick Suskind. This novel was so great that it has already be an international bestseller novel and sold more than 15 million copies. A movie with the same title was made base on this book on 2006 and it is also one of the phenomenal movie.

This book telling a story of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille a boy that was born without body odor but he have an extraordinary smelling sense, as a boy he survive from a rough life, born without his mother wanting him, and move around frequently from one house to another. The present of Grenouille made uncomfortable feelings to other kids who also live in the same orphan house, not because he is a bad boy but just because he has no scent of his own body.

Grenouille grown up to be a genius in making perfume aroma. One day after he kiss a red head virgin he got obsess to make a perfume with the scent of a virgin. This is the base of the story : Grenouille obsession to make the ultimate perfume with the body scent of a virgin. Then he began to kill 25 virgins and taking their body scent using waxing technique, the virgin’s body wilted as if they have been suck till the end, their clothing, hair and skin has gone!

This suspense fiction novel is horrifying but somehow has a strong story that makes it so interesting to read it from the beginning till the end. With unexpected ending. This is more than just an ordinary novel. In amazone. com a reader even said that this novel is the most elegant, aristocratic and erotic novel!!

There is no question that this is an absolute must read novel.
