Fascinating story, but I thought the book seemed to lose its way a few times. It seemed a bit tedious at times.

Why yes, we were just talking about this. Maybe we should move it up closer to the top.

Loved it!! Very educational about cell lines and the rights patients have or don’t have about anything extracted from our bodies. Hearing about her and her family gave more depth to the story.

It was good but a little long and repetitive, could have used some editing but still very good.

There was a really good article in the Oprah magazine about it when it came out and the article was a complete synopsis of the book, the book was a little long winded and didn’t have anything in it that that article didn’t already tell you, so save a lot of time and look up that article.?
