A lot of people have been saying that our book assignment "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks," is a terrible read. I've been hearing that the author, Rebecca Skloot, jumps around chapter to chapter from describing Henrietta's Life then to the life of her children and how she obtained the information for the biography. The consensus (that I have heard) is that the way it's written is really boring, hard to read, and annoying even though the actual story of Henrietta is interesting. I on the other hand think that both stories are fascinating. I'm learning a lot about cancer actually and while I enjoy reading stories like that of her life, I also enjoy learning factual information (such as cancer info). Anyways...we have to be at page 86 by 6:00 today. I have four more pages to go so.....adios!
