I loved how she interwove the personal with the bigger story. I thought it was an incredibly ambitious project and I felt that she succeeded. I had never heard of Henrietta Lacks before this. I mean, I thought it was profound that her family didn't even know the story of what a huge impact the HeLa cells had on science and also that they weren't benefiting at all. I thought Skloot told the story in a way that was interesting, personal, compelling and that she tied in to a bigger picture as well.
