If you like sick and twisted, you'll be right at home.
To give the general idea, here's a brief description from the Library Journal:
"Set in 18th-century France, Perfume relates the fascinating and horrifying tale of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, a person as gifted as he was abominable. Born without a smell of his own but endowed with an extraordinary sense of smell, Grenouille becomes obsessed with procuring the perfect scent that will make him fully human. With brilliant narrative skill Susskind exposes the dark underside of the society through which Grenouille moves and explores the disquieting inner universe of this singularly possessed man. The translation is superb."

I absolutly loved this book. I hope you're dragged in as well.

I'm intrigued. I'll put this on my list.

Is there any graphic PIE eating? [Eek!]

Don't hate the PIE, hate the PIEmaker.
