I read this Januaury 2013
It was teh January book for the Waterstones, Arc, BSE Book Club
I voited for this book as I had wanted to read it for a while now.
It is a non fiction book about Henriettea Lacks and her family, Henrietta's cells have been used for medical research ever since they were taken in the 50's and successfully grown in the lab.
They are used for all sorts of research, cancer, polio etc.
I think, for me, this book was over long. I got a bit bored with what is a very inetersting subject. I would recommend it, but I did have to slog through it a bit.
8/10
