"Her-2" is a readable and engaging story of a revolutionary drug for treating breast cancer. Although I do not have a science or medical background, I was able to understand and enjoy this book. It told a fascinating story about the drug and all the people involved in its inception. This book included information about the making of drugs, which I found fascinating. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in breast cancer or the pharmaceutical industry.
