July 2, 2017 Book Club Notes

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (Maren’s Pick)
Discussion: Maren- Liked it. More clinical than expected. Wanted more about the families lives. Would recommend to certain people. 3.5/5
Ali- Liked it. A little text booky at times, but feel more educated. Shocked that our cells can be taken and used. Would recommend to certain people with a disclaimer. 5/5
Jocelyn- Loved it. Very educational. At times, I would be wishing for a fictional story, but as soon as I started in I would be instantly hooked again. Liked the back and forth between the two stories. Would recommend to certain people. 4.5/5
Meriah- Liked it. Loved the family story. Sometimes too much like a textbook. Kind of a hard book about HeLa cells. Would not recommend. 3/5
Julie- I enjoyed the book. It was very interesting. Lots of names and dates which made it difficult to keep track of the story at times. Would recommend. 3/5

Favorite Characters:
Maren-Deborah and Devon
Ali- Deborah, Devon and Christoph Jocelyn- HeLa cells and Rebecca Skloot
Meriah- Rebecca
Julie- Rebecca Skloot and Deborah
