Akiva's Reviews > The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

I like how a subplot of this book is that the author is an absolute psycho. Is she any less exploitative of these people than any other people who show up in this chronicle of how one cancerous cell line changed history? Very unclear. But 1. She gets the goods 2. Her empathy for the Lacks family really comes through. Fascinating mix of biology, medical ethics, and human interest.
