Felt drawn out in some areas but overall I appreciated the author choosing to make this about the family rather than just HeLa itself. Overall a great read.

This book was one of the most interesting books I've read this year. I was completely engrossed in the details of Henrietta. I was enamored with how her cells became the product and life-saving cells they are.

Interesting story. I really enjoyed the history of Henrietta's life and how everything affected her family. The book got a little slow halfway through to the end, but I still enjoyed the story.

It's taken me a while to read this book, but I'm glad I did. It is informative and not only technically important, it humanizes technology and shows the real person behind the science.
