A review by grets_reads
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

"Whenever we read books about science, it's always HeLa this and HeLa that. Some people know those are the initials of a person, but they don't know who that person is. That's important history." 

Read this book. 
Well researched (40 pages of notes/references/indexes), incredibly informative, thoroughly engaging, and so, so moving.
