Oh my god, I could not finish Perfume. I started it, I really, really tried. Got halfway through and just lost my resolve. Like you, I agree it is well written, it is an interesting concept, and if he wanted me to hate the book, I did. I just cannot involve myself in a book where I have no desire to learn the outcome of the main character. I would like to see the movie, though, because watching and hating the main character, takes less than reading.

After I put that aside, I read 1984. Suffice to say, I hated myself for a long time. I didn't realise how much reading material can play on your emotions.
