Query: Recommended Reading despite Identity Crisis

This is a haunting book. True...there aren't any characters that are easy to identify with, instead it is the pain that Grenouille felt from his hypersensitive sense of smell that kept me reading. Suskind's writing is so vivid and addicting that despite my antipathy for Grenouille I have sympathy for his plight. There are times when I thought I could smell the scents Suskind was describing in his book. The massive orgy towards the end of the book was a little much, but I think it helped demonstrate how powerful and inescapable scent is to people.
