Query: Coming of Age with a twist

While this book starts out a little slowly, it definitely picks up the pace with a shocking climax at the end. Suskind explores themes of love, power, society's responsibility to the indiviual's self-worth, and the god-like qualities of the underman.Grenouille possesses a super-human sense of smell while lacking his own scent. He spends his entire life trying to capture the one scent that fills him with desire and figures out a way to use that scent to gain the love and power he has longed for his whole life. His journey of self-discovery does not lead to the fairy-tale ending of enlightenment, but to the realization that he is incapable of the one emotion he both scorns and desires--love.
