Although some could appreciate the difficulty of life situations presented in this book, the lack of emotion expressed and the absense of human connections made this book difficult to read and gave a number of the readers a feeling of pointlessness. Most of our club did not care to finish reading the book.

I felt the second half of the book moved much better once we were allowed to see the story develop from outside of Monk. Maybe a little less hand holding on the conclusion, but an enjoyable read.

Laugh out loud funny!! Makes me consider the idea....almost!!

Many of us in our book club are thankful for the advances that medical science has made due to these cells,yet feel sadness for what Henrietta herself went through.
