The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It had been a long week at work, I wanted to turn my phone off, I was polyfilla-ing a wall - and I picked this up. I read it in the course of an evening - really well written, fascinating insights into the person behind amazing medical discoveries, and plenty to think about re research ethics (one of the subjects that comes up in my MSc Research Methods).
