spanner7853 - just so, it is perverse, but curiously satisfying at the same time - he's almost an anti-hero. In some ways reminds me of the book 'The Collector' by John Fowles - fantastic, really enjoyed. I remember seeing the film (with Terence Stamp) when I was very little (probably 5 or 6ish - where were the parents!!!) and sensing the strangeness - understanding but not understanding because I was too young - it's the same with Perfume.
NO NO NO - not like Silence of the Lambs - sorry - a good book in it's own right - but forgive me - not art or great literature - this is the sort of book that 'stays' with you - like some of the early Ian McEwan - 'First Love Last Rites' - it disturbs - but also perversely satisfies - it's not to everybody's taste - but it challenges.
