The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks - Rebecca Skloot Well, I didn't get to it in time, and I had to return it for someone else. Next time I'll do better.***I started with the sample. Oh, Amazon, you know me so well, I had to buy that sucker as soon as I reached the end of the sample.***Skloot has written an amazing book. She gets at the intersection of race, class, and medical history through the lens of one woman's experience of the medical system, and the experience of her surviving family.
