This review is from: Three Stories and a Reflection (Paperback)
I love how Suskind can take a simple idea and turn it round to give you a completely different perspective.

Another great Suskind book.,
By steven (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Three Stories and a Reflection (Hardcover)
This book is really short. The one I got is a little hardcover copy and it's about 80 pages and written in huge font with huge margins. But what little there is is great. One of my favorite things in Perfume is that scientist Grenouille runs into after coming out of the cave, and his theory about the earth emiting toxins, if you read the book you know what I'm talking about. I thought that was such fun and I would have loved to read more stuff like that. Well good ol' Suskind wrote another short story in the same spirit as that in this book about a scientist with a wild theory about shell fossils. It was my favorite in this collection. But another great one is the chess match. Yup that was a good one. Yup. This book is short. The other story and his reflection were good too. But they were short. Okay.
