Doctors took her cells without asking and they never died. They launched a medical revolution and more. The book reads like a novel. The writing has been called riveting, indelible, extraordinary, gripping,astonishing, moving, stunning, graceful, remarkable, powerful, masterful, thrilling and original. It is all those things. It is also funny and tender. This is the first book I have read that has won 19 awards--most "Best book of the year." It is the best science writing I have ever read. Read it. You won't be sorry. You'll be glad you did.
