Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

I didn't really enjoy this book at all. The pace was all over the place, the story itself was unbelievable in the extreme, and although I know you aren't meant to like the main character, I didn't even feel that he was well written. The ending was... weird, and not really in keeping with the rest of the story, and a bit of an anti-climax.

I'm just generally disappointed! I've seen there are so many good reviews... did I miss something key?? I think I must have.

It gets two stars as I apparently liked it enough to keep reading.
