This book is about a sick and twisted young woman from a dysfunctional family background who has strange and perverse ideas about her body, it’s functions, what her body produces and what she does with her body and its products. I read this book in a couple of hours, at times with horrified and disgusted fascination. What kind of sick mind could even conceive of doing some of the things that the lead character does, let alone write about it? Yikes! This normally very open-minded woman who passes her books on to other readers is certainly not going to share this one. Out is goes……..

Not since James Joyce described the sensation of excrement sliding out his anus in Ulysses have I been so moved by a novel (pun inteded). This is a view of what women are to become. This is where all cultural roads lead. Oddly appropriate, isn’t it, that our cultural destination leads to the consumption of our own offal? Ask yourself why this book has so many positive media reviews. Ask yourself who controls the media. Ask yourself why they want tweens and teens reading this “literature” and you will know all you need to know about who runs the world and what is planned for you.

Yeah that is the question you will be asking yourself after reading this book. This book is nothing but porn…you could write this kind of book too. But of course you don’t want to stoop this low just to make money. As soon as you know who translated this from German …you conviction will be reaffirmed that this is porn….

This book sets out to attack “conventional views on women’s hygiene, sexuality and the definition of femininity.” I have heard comparisons to Henry Miller’s “Tropic of Cancer.” I have to say, I can see why the comparison is made, but this book is like “Tropic of Cancer” without the artistry. More graphic for graphics sake. Attacking conventional notions of Hygiene and sexuality by going to the other extreme (by which I mean a girl that goes out of her way to be filthy, and does very dirty things)does not really help the authors cause. In my opinion it does the opposite by grossing out the reader.

This book is so bad, I don’t even want to waste time reviewing it. I’ll just say that it is juvenile beyond belief. Think fart jokes that make teenagers giggle. Give it a pass. If you’re that curious about it, I’ll give you my copy. Take it, please.
