informative inspiring slow-paced

3.0

Quite slow and it's easy to get caught up in the details. I loved the personal stories, but the biological detail a little less. It would be great for anyone who has a relative with cancer in order to learn about the disease. I also enjoyed the historical lens on this biological topic.
