learned a few things how to write all different kind of things!
Tremendously well-done combination of biography, sociological inquiry, and scientific expose. The juxtaposition of HeLa's abstract medical value and its impact on Henrietta's compellingly portayed family (especially her daughter Deborah) is utterly engrossing. The judgments implicit in the telling of the tale are clear but never shrill. The obvious affection the author feels for the people behind the immortal cells is similarly apparent but never overshadows her ability to conveythe science.
Not that this book wasn't well written, I just didn't love it. I really liked the author's descriptions of artworks, colours, people.
