Skloot's book is a magnificent fusion of science, history, and brilliant storytelling. She is especially skilled at explaining scientific concepts in an accessible and engaging manner. Her rendering of Lacks' story reveals a deeply troubling history of racism, discrimination, and poverty in the U.S. Highly recommended for anyone who likes narrative nonfiction or fiction readers interested in trying a nonfiction title.
