I was gonna suggest this. I like the clever idea (ie what would happen if you had the best sense of smell in the world EVER!) which made the story make itself.
I've bought the book and given it to someone as a random present because i like it so much.
Saying that though i've lent my sister my copy and she's finding it hard-going apparantly (she does English Lit at Uni too
( ).

And this was going to be my second suggestion. Even if you don't like it it's only like an hour and a half out of your life or so *shrug*
