Perfume by Patrick Suskind. - Read about half of it. Didn't grab me. No interesting characters and even the monster only had one thing going for him - his preternatural sense of smell. Descriptions of perfume industry and perfume making were interesting to a point. Concept is lovely - a person with no personal odor who therefore disconcerts everyone who comes in contact with him and who experiences the world primarily through smell - but the concept is all the book has going for it. Not really a hit.
