4 stars
very, very well written. the transition between science and personal life of not only henrietta but her family members as well was very smooth. the only thing was i kinda got whiplash from the afterword because it went straight into super technical stuff. i guess it is only an afterword though. very good book, and i recommend it to everybody, but especially people who are involved in molecular biology.
