## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not for someone looking for action
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2018*

This book was difficult to read in that it moved painfully slow most of the time, but when it moved fast, it was almost ridiculous. I did not care for the main characters. They were very one dimensional. We get snippets of scenarios and they should raise your flesh in horror. The way they were written gave me a feeling of "meh." There should have been more parallel with Jack and the lama, Xie. Instead, they collide for about 20 seconds and thats the end of Xie's story. I feel like the reader was cheated with how his story just abruptly stops. There isn't too much action in the story, but when there is, it moves at a breackneck speed like the author can't stand writing them, but knows her book is going to put people to sleep if something doesn't happen. Overall I probably won't read any of the other books in this series, unless I want to be bored to death.

    Mystery wrapped in history wrapped in suspense
  

*by R***G on Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2017*

The Book of Lost Fragrances is a mesmerizing romp through ancient Egypt, Revolutionary France, and the modern day struggle to keep a family perfume business alive. The way Rose weaves in these different worlds, in addition to the quest for a Dalai alma, is masterful and imbued with intrigue. The research and story combine to hold one spellbound, and the end cannot be guessed, even though the clues were always there. A satisfying read that will linger in my mind like the perfumes of Le Etoile. bravo MJ Rose.

    Enjoyed quite a bit.
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2013*

I first heard about M.J. Rose and The Book of Lost Fragrances on a radio interview, in which the author mused that certain fragrances lost to history were said to have the power to evoke trance-like states in ancient shamans.  Apparently Rose had come upon this information while researching another work all together, and later spun an entire work of fiction out of the idea.  Thus, The Book of Lost Fragrances sometimes reads like it is an encyclopedia of random, interesting facts, and the plot is merely a thinly structured edifice to house these facts.  Nevertheless, if you enjoy learning useless but intriguing bits of information about ancient Egypt, Communist China, and the catacombs of Paris, you will like this book.  If nothing else, it will give you interesting conversation starters for cocktail parties.  Rose successfully weaves at least half a dozen different storylines together to tell the tale of a global hunt, spanning close to five centuries, for an ancient Egyptian artifact that is wanted, ultimately, by the Chinese government in order to suppress Tibetan Buddhism.  A fanciful and thought-provoking page-turner.
