The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

ksiegle, January 13, 2011

Absolutely absorbing. This account of social and personal tragedy tied to a medical miracle is one of the most fascinating tales I've ever read. Tactfully and honestly reconstructed by the author, the book touches on almost every aspect and implication of the astounding events surrounding the life, death, and afterlife of Henrietta Lacks. Most importanly, it encourages further thought and research while remaining an entirely satisfying read. Highly, highly recommended.
