The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
emotional
hopeful
informative
tense
medium-paced
4.0
It seems like an important book; so much information I wish I would have learned MUCH earlier. However, the threads of white saviorism filled this novel and that is the only thing I would change. Great science and well written, but I wish it would have been written by a POC author.
Graphic: Domestic abuse, Cancer, and Medical trauma
Moderate: Sexual violence
Minor: Alcoholism, Racism, and Drug abuse
