Nancy S. reviewed on 2/28/2011 + 17 more book reviews

This book contains a great deal of scientific information, which is necessary to explain what the Lacks family went through, but hard for those like me who are not as interested in the scientific side of things. I was about to put the book down because I was so tired of reading about cell production when I finally reached the part of the book where Ms. Skloot finally begins to tell more about the family. I was much more interested in the family and what they went through than the scientific explanations, so I was very relieved when she finally got to the personal side of the story. I'm glad I hung in there until I reached the part about the family, but it isn't a book I will read again.
