Dexter and Suskind's Perfume

If you red "Perfume" by Patrick Suskind or watched "Dexter" I am sure you got emotionally involved with the main characters, even when they are mass murderers. I am not sure how it works but you get to want them to be free, you want them to escape from the law. Do you realize how powerful a story is?

What about spending this whole day thinking about profound things like this?

I read Patrick Süskind's book. And I saw the movie too. It is a great book. The movie is OK.
It is kind of sad, how pathetic the main character is, abandoned and never loved.

Instead, Dexter was really loved by his parents (at least that's what it looks like on the pilot, I still haven't seen the second episode LOL)

Dexter kills because he uses his insanity for a good thing, the guy in the book doesn't...
