The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks Parts I and II

While reading what I really found interesting was the way the author mixed history, the character back story and study of henrietta lacks, as well as all the psychological drama going on. The way the author has done these things really gives a great way of presenting the book to a public audience. For a lack of a better word 'untrained' and inexperienced author she does a great job of reaching a hole number of audiences with the book. Especially considering her background as a white person considering the Lacks families adamant opposition to opening up to people about the HeLa cells. All and all her great delivery of this story really shines a great view into what the family has experienced and how it has effected them and how there family member Henrietta has completely changed the world.
