A sexual, scatological, international sensation: 'A cri de coeur against the oppression of a waxed, shaved, douched and otherwise sanitized women's world' (Nicholas Kulish, The New York Times).
In the tradition of The Sexual Life of Catherine M. and Melissa P.'s 100 Strokes of the Brush Before Bed, Charlotte Roche's debut novel—which sold more than a million copies in Germany alone—exposes the double bind of female sexuality, delivering a compulsively readable and fearlessly intimate manifesto on sex, hygiene, and the repercussions of family trauma. Helen Memel is an outspoken eighteen-year-old, whose childlike stubbornness is offset by a precocious sexual confidence. From a hospital bed, where she's recovering from an operation and lamenting her parents' divorce, Helen ruminates on her past sexual and physical adventures in 'a headlong dash through every crevice and byproduct—both physical and psychological—of Helen's body and mind' (The New York Times). Punky alienated teenager, young woman reclaiming her body from the tyranny of repressive hygiene (women mustn't smell, excrete, desire), bratty smartass, lonely daughter, shock merchant, and pleasure seeker—Helen is all of these things and more, and her frequent attempts to assert her maturity ultimately prove just how fragile, confused, and young she truly is.

As zond result, being the hygiene freak that I am but had no idea until I read this bookI found Helen a very disgusting character from the outset and it took me a while to warm up to her. It was so refreshing to read something so in-your-face about the female body.

There were some parts that actually had me laughing out loud though, kind of in a Laurie Notaro-ridiculousness kind of way. I can only recommend this book to those with a strong constitution and possibly an even stronger stomach.

So credit where its due. Something that has endured, so you know it will stand up to whatever vile things Wetlands throws at it.
Besides being thought provoking, this book was flat-out entertaining. Perhaps Roche never intended to use the word ‘pussy’ upward of 50 times: I’m not against a loathsome lead — heck, I just finished a great book about a pedophile — but I am against a loathsome lead that is this contrived. Now, if she had witnessed this, as I have, she would not have had her protag runing around hospital floors in agonising pain after said person just plopped out tampons on the elevator floor just because it seemed like a good idea.
