'Von Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, dem finsteren Helden, sei nur verraten, daß er 1738 in Paris, in einer stinkigen Fischbude, geboren wird. Die Ammen, denen das Kerlchen an die Brust gelegt wird, halten es nur ein paar Tage mit ihm aus: Er sei zu gierig, außerdem vom Teufel besessen, wofür es untrügliche Indizien gebe: den fehlenden Duft, den unverwechselbaren Geruch, den Säuglinge auszuströmen pflegen.'

Let me explain this.
I did not enjoy reading this book at all. I felt uncomfortable the whole time - the writing, the descriptions, the story, the characters, they all were the reason for that. I cannot rate this anything higher than this because there was not one moment when I thought that it was all right or anything that I appreciated at all in this book. I knew I wouldn't like it before reading it and I did not hope that it would prove that wrong or anything like that.
This rating does not mean that I think this book is bad, like badly written or the story is idk not well-structured or something. This is a decent book with some interesting topics/themes that some people may appreciate a lot more than me.
But I will not ever recommend this to someone else because I really don't like this book. I am glad to have finally read it and I do kind of understand why this book is such a big deal but it certainly is not for me lol
