About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta LacksThe Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I look forward to Big Reads discussions of this book at local libraries. It is a well-written creative non-fiction that provides strong emotional content to the reportage of big themes of our history of racism and its legacy of mistrust, plus the evolving topics of medical research ethics and cell and tissue culture.
