Headline Review

review 1: Heaven Scent is a story with a very simple writing full of family misunderstandings. The author attempts to address the difficulties and limitations of a wealthy family with some success. And dazzles in her ability to capture the reader into the world of perfumes. However, I felt that the least interesting pair was the main one. Cat ends up disillusioned as a character and her chemistry with Xavier is weak. Also seemed very forced to be Cat's character who promotes change in an entire family. She's like Jesus Christ in this family... Finally, I didn't appreciated Oliver's being used as the culprit of most of the misunderstandings and sufferings. Honestly, there was no need to demonize him. It's a nice read to pass the time, but clearly not memorable.
review 2: ... moreThis book is really good and I enjoyed reading it. However, I preferred reading about all the other characters as they were quiky, fun and slightly more realistic such as Max and Madeline, Leoni and Ashton and Guy etc rather than Cat and Xavier. Xavier resembled a cliched rich playboy tall dark handsome Mills & Boon hero who turned out to be a bit of a wuss. The background on why he's so anti-commitment was rather pathetic considering he's meant to be a strong macho intelligent type. Also, he appears to allow himself to be hounded by the press, which many other (far more successful) businessmen and socialites appear to be able to avoid. This unfortunately gave him as much substance as Paris Hilton and all those other hideous fluffy Kim Kard type of socialites. I just couldn't take him seriouslyAs for Cat, her saintly character was a bit irritating when you consider how quickly she falls for the next guy. And her relationship with the family is just too contrived. Her ideas that she offers are basic common sense which you'd think a big multinational comoany would have a multitude of consultants, assistants and staff who'd have suggested those ideas every second or so. But otherwise i loved the book and enjoyed reading it. Its excellent. less
