Yay! Finished Perfume

Spoiler:

Seriously after Part 1 I said 'wow' out loud. The lab collapsing was just a strange picture in my head - something more out a cartoon. I thought the first murder was a bit unexpected and like it was just glossed over then there was nothing else for ages while he did live in the cave. Part 2 in the book did seem a bit far fetched - I know I couldn't survive like that - especially in winter.

WTF happened at the end... orgies from this amazing perfume he created and then he gets eaten... like OMG and ewwwwwwww.

I did 'enjoy' it but wow.

Have you seen the film?  It is actually quite good.  I don't usually like films from books but this was OK.  I was interested to see how they would achieve the orgy scene with all those people but they managed it.  The ending is weird but somehow quite fitting.
