review 1: I'm still reading it, and I'm almost done. I've read "Wetlands" (from the same author) that is basically a story about a girl (Helen Memel) that starts in a hospital, because she had a little problem in her dungeon of dragons. She talks with the reader, about her various sexual affairs and experiences with herself, while telling what's like being in a hospital with that funny condition, how boring it is, and how some of those details remember her of those ninphomaniac tentations. I'ts mostly a revolting book, writing by a female german journalist, that wants to break some tabu's. I read it really fast, because it's thrilling and at the same time, and it is a easy-read kind of book. Now "Wrecked" is totally different! It's about a blabla-Kiehl, that goes with her second hus... moreband on brothels every friday, to let the sexual flame between them still burning. She's also a mother of an only child, that is treated like a princess and in a very independent organic way, so she doesn't and up like Kiehl's mother. Wich by the way, suffered something that still haunts Kiehl's 'till this day, that involved a lot of relatives. She has a first husband, not very close to her, that is her child's father. She talks a lot about her therapyst, how she makes her mind go free, and that is a fatal detail in her life. She goes on and off in the past during the book (the author also does that in wetlands), so it keeps you interested. I'm loving the book, it has a kind of philosofic way of treating it's character and her perspective about her on life. I'm not done yet, so I have some surprises yet to come. Some critics in the back of the book say it's a sexual revolution. So, who knows? 4 stars for that one.
review 2: This book reflects the inner consciousness of the modern women. Questions of sex, role of women, motherhood and place in society are questioned with a deep view of private thoughts and feelings of a mature women that struggles to be both person, mother and object. Many would consider this erotic literature, but is a much deeper and interested feminist perspective than the current "Sex and the City" series or book. This book talks and describes intimate relationship with sex, desire, anxiety, fears. You probably have to have certain age and life experience to read it and enjoy it. It is not a book for adolescents neither for conservative people. I loved this book because it talks about real things. Things that not everyone puts on paper but once have already thought about it. It is refreshing to read something that feels real and intimate. less
