Wetland is the 50 Shades of Gray for filth fetishists (all 47 of you out there). Buy it and a jumbo pack of double A's and notify your guilds you won't be on this weekend. If you have a fetish that involves any kind of bodily fluid or function, you'll find it in here, and you won't be getting out of bed.Everybody else: buy soap.Like 50 Shades, a reed thin plot that not even the author cares about strings together scene after brutally detailed scene of adventures in fringe sexuality. Except it's not BDSM, but the mysophilia lifestyle (?!) that is shown, as you live in the head Helen Memel, a teenage girl stuck in the hospital recovering from a horrific, uh, "shaving accident." Between childish acts of unsanitary mischief and plots to get her divorced parents back together, Helen reminisces fondly about all the fun she's had with things society finds disgusting, exploring their tastes, textures, smells, and masturbatory potential.I pride myself on not flinching away from controversial content in books. But I admit, Wetlands had me skimming. A lot. Being a bit of a hygiene freak, I took this book on as a personal challenge and man, it was CHALLENGING to get through! But I did, and despite it's unpleasant focus and intensity, I liked it... sort of?I'm giving Wetlands 3 stars solely because, no matter how deeply disturbed she is, the character of Helen Memel is stubbornly likable. I didn't want to like Helen, in fact I hated her at first. But to my chagrin by the end I found did like her and was sorry to leave her. Her cheerful, disarmingly companionable voice just drew me in. She follows her grotesque bliss with an unabashed self confidence and innocence that you just have to admire. I found myself wishing I could sit down and have a drink with Helen (as long as it was one I'd brought and kept an eye on at ALL times...).It's no easy feat for an author to create a character who revels in everything filthy and disgusting, yet manages to be charming enough that even a squeamish person like me would hang out with her. If nothing else, this book is a great study in how to make difficult characters compelling for readers. I recommend aspiring authors read this. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Truly Deeply Sick and Twisted *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 2, 2015* I stumbled across this short oddball novel last night, grew curious, given that it sold a million copies in Germany, and was made into a film — so read it today in an hour and a half. It’s not very long. I’m not even sure it’s very good, but it was very quick. The film version recently toured Sundance, so you can get a glimmer via the preview.Wetlands is a sort of literary equivalent of Human Centipede. In some ways, it’s so perverse you just can’t help reading/watching. There are two things going on in this tight little first person tale. First is Helen’s “unusual” (many would say grotesque) point of view and its inherent fascination — and I have to admit, it’s perversely fascinating. Second there’s an attempt to make the delivery of said POV actually have a meaning.The first works. The second doesn’t (for me).Helen is a girl who likes sex, avocados, and bodily fluids. She has a particular fondness for anything “dirty.” She spends the entire novel in the hospital reminiscing. She’s there for a shaving cut gone particularly bad, in a place where the sun don’t shine. And she falls in love with her male nurse for no particular reason. During her mental wanderings she explores all aspects of her particular “tastes” for what one might consider the gross. No body fetish is left untouched. No fluid unspilled. No orifice is safe. She likes it all. Wallows in it really. Roche has a knack for this — and we have to wonder about the warm wet corners of her own mind — but it’s quite effective. Probably shocking for many. Really. I’m not easily shocked, but I was impressed by the lengths to which she went (as an author). I’m not sure I’ve ever read anything short of a twisted internet story quite so NSFW.I’m fairly convinced the above ick factor was the major driving force behind the book. And the resultant buzz behinds sales. That and it being Germany. But the author tried to give meaning to this poor disturbed teen’s emotional state by interjecting a “plot” involving her divorced parents, her one sided attraction to her nurse, and her need for attention. In general, the dialog is impoverished and no one other than the narrator/protagonist has any development. So when what seems to be a totally one sided affair reverses on the penultimate page, it felt entirely forced and hollow.So in terms of the book’s conventional character arc the novel fails miserably. But it does succeed at painting this oddball, fascinating, rather perverse character portrait. And I “enjoyed” my 90 minutes.Andy Gavin, author of Untimed and The Darkening Dream ### ⭐ Repetitive and pointless *by W***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 6, 2022* I don’t mind how graphic it is (although a lot of the explicit sex drivel is just silly and probably not anatomically possible,) but it just goes nowhere. One paragraph after another about how she loves this bodily fluid or the other, she likes to rub this or scratch that. Yeah, fine, I’m thrilled you’re so open about your body, really, but how about a bit of plot, character development, exposition? I’ll read nearly any genre, and finish nearly every book ever, but I really don’t know if I can be bothered with the second half. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4777059-wetlands-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4777059-wetlands-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
