This is one of the best books I've ever read. My mother suggested I read it when I was 19 and it blew me away. Especially the narrative structure, I love how every time Grenouille leaves a place, Patrick tells the story of what happened to the poor soul who saw his company. Absolutely brilliant.

I’m honestly loving this book. Thanks for the recommendation, Kurt.

[troytellsit]

I’ll forever be in debt to Kurt’s priceless advice to check out this book.

[vercingetorixavernian]

This version is x10 better than the one you actually buy on audible. Wow… how lucky are we? God bless the uploader thank u ❤

[joydevera]

I really like the way he reads the book. It's like he's reading a fairytale or bedtime story.

[aaronberry]

Kurts interview brought me here I have never listened to a book before and am not much of a reader but this is fantastic

[jofi]

I just want to take a moment to express my hatred of YouTube ads and how they interrupt at precisely the wrong point and way to often.

[kimberlymisfit.]

Miss your music Kurt💜💜💜Thanks for giving your fans a good book to read.

[jluq]

This book scared tf out of me. But in such a crazy soothing way
I’m glad there’s an audiobook of it. People should really read/listen to it

[codycodfish]

Baldini's monologue is so beautifully wriiten. the breakdown and bargaining with the self of a man who knows he's a sham, to then going on to mock his competition, who was already superior to him by saying anything and everything he could think of against him, because deep down he knows he can never be like him, is beautiful. the way Suskind puts forward the patheticness and narrow-mindedness of people is truly unmatched

[beepameep]

Forever trying to chase the deep soul feeling of this book. Makes me feel melancholic and cold but also nostalgic and comforting.

[kquinceboutique]

I love this audiobook..his voice is very nice. I'm learning English language and this helps me a lot with the pronunciation. Thank you so much 😍

[mckamy]

Our senses decive us, sight, hearing, and touch but smell will always be the truth

[NotAllCatsAreNice]

The ads every 5 minutes is insufferable

[valkyriesardo]

If you enjoyed this book, read "The Cook", same sort of genius monster but with a culinary talent.

[Panda-udxk]

I listen to this everynight for getting to sleep, thank you

[mikedaniels]

My most scentcere gratitude to the uploader. What a piece of virtuoso use of language. Wish only Süskind had put his literary genius into the service of a nobler cause than a history of a murder, see eg the examples of John Milton or Duke Ellington.
