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

emotional informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

Rebecca Skloot beautifully weaves the origin of HeLa cells from Henrietta Lacks, the impact on her family, and the lasting legacy HeLa cells have had on science and society. Skloot is able to take the reader right through her research process and bring the human element to a topic usually reserved for objective opinions.

The audiobook narrators do a fantastic job. They truly immerse the listener into the time of the book.

Highly recommend for anyone, particularly science lovers and biography enthusiasts.
