Ahh, the story upon which the film is based upon. A definitely enjoyable read. The descriptions of the scents, the aromas, the smells - wonderful! Feed us with more background from which Jean-Baptiste Grenouille and the rest of the characters in the novel. Finished it in a sitting of 3-4 days. Definitely different from the film adaptation - one sees Grenouille as more of a monster in the novel, rather than a misunderstood human in the film.

ReplyDeletecoz of its R21 rating--so i managed to get a great copy online

ReplyDeleteI watched the film before I read the book, and I enjoyed the slight variations and shades of interpretation between the two. The film actually had great actors and actresses acting in it, but put the protangonist in a more human light. Enjoy, brudder~ ;D
