Her (Beeler Large Print Series)

Rating:
Summary: Stalking and Paranoia 101
Review: I heard this was a funny book, but what I didn't hear was that the protagonist was a psycho-stalker. She is so self-absorbed and such a whiner that she made me want to grab her by the shoulders and shake some sense into her. Definitely do not purchase this book. I'm grateful I got it from the library.

Summary: Really Bummed - She's a better author than this ......
Review: I usually like Laura Zigman's work. I loved "Animal Husbandry" and really enjoyed "Dating Big Bird" however, "Her" was a disappointment. To begin with - it's difficult to enjoy a book when you can't stand - understand and relate with the main character. She was annoying, crazy and really unsympathetic. I kept thinking she would get better or the story would unfold and you would understand her motivation. But - it never did.

Elise (the main character) is engaged to nice and comfortable Donald. Her ordered and calm life is turned upside down when Donald's former fiance Adrianne comes back into the picture. I have to say, I enjoyed her character more than another. She at least gave you something interesting to think about. I found her entire relationship with Donald completely unbelievable. There is no way this woman would ever have been with him - but, I will leave that up to you.

There were moments that I was interested - but all in all - the negatives outweighed the positives. Try her other books - they are better.

Summary: Skip it
Review: Like other reviewers, I believe this effort does not measure up to the author's first two novels. What I loved about those two books is her ability to weave really astute and insightful observations about life and love into her stories. I kept waiting for that to happen with this book, but it didn't. This is meaningless fluff from an author who is capable of much better.

This is slapstick comedy with annoying, one dimensional characters. There may be a small laugh or two along the way, but those don't make up for this completely unbelievable plot.

Skip this one and read her first two novels. You won't be sorry.
