2☆ Review:

The concept for this book is crazy good. Someone without a scent can smell EVERYTHING around him, then discovers the scent of a young virgin girl and wants to create a perfume that smells the same as her? Sounds fantastic. I wanted so badly to enjoy it. 

However, it was incredibly boring. How do you make a serial killer boring?
