The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (Revisted)

I was finally able to finish this novel last night. I will say again, that the writer's style is very easy to read. She has a straightforward style that grabs the reader's interest. Rebecca Skloot reports the information as it is presented to her with some commentary of her own. Some of the Lacks family members are in jail or have less than perfect stories, but she doesn't shy away from these details or try to explain them away. It is very clear from her writing that she cares about these people but that she also wants to honor to Deborah Lack's wish that the book tells the true story of Henrietta and her family.

Definitely a book I would recommend to anyone.
