I hated Her. It dragged on, gave entirely too many details, and I didn’t like the redundancy of scenes (told from two different perspectives).  I felt the payoff was not worth reading the book for.  There was not much real action, just a few reveals that weren’t really interesting.  I didn’t really feel there was a friendship and the obsession angle was not hard core. It was a book about motherhood, like an essay that was realistic, I give it that (the only reason I am giving it 2 stars vs a 1).  Being a mother is a lot of work and strife.  However, I am just pissed I read this book.  I felt like not finishing about 100 pages in but kept reading because I promised a friend.  Ultimately I wound up taking lots of breaks and then skimming the last 60 pages because I was so annoyed.  There were too many blank pages between chapters.  Also I am in the USA, so the British words/phrases confused the heck out of me; there was a large amount.  I have read novels by non Americans before and had no issues, but this one topped the cake.  I don’t recommend an American to read this book at all, or anyone else for that matter.  But if you are glutton for punishment, go right ahead.
