I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH!!! I’m so happy that Henrietta and her family have finally gotten some recognition after all this time and get to tell their story. I’m also really glad that this book is being included in my class at our school. I would definitely recommend reading this book no matter what you like to read! :) Non-fiction, fiction, science, theories, biographies, realistic fiction, and even non realistic fiction lovers will love this book!

4.75

Initial read: June-July 2019 4.5⭐️
Reread January 2024 4.75-5⭐️

If you’re in science or medicine this is required reading. If you do research on people or human cells and haven’t read this… do that right now! 

Every single person reading this review had their life changed by Henrietta Lacks’ cells so you might as well read the book about her and them.
