Henrietta Lacks Book

I have been wanting to read this book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, and I am going to read it for my final project for Computer Architecture. I read the prologue on amazon, and it explained how the author, Rebecca Skloot, became interested in Henrietta Lacks. She was at a community college where she wasn't very interested in trying her best or being that great of a student until her biology class. Her biology professor was very passionate and told them a little about Henrietta Lacks. Skloot went home from there and decided to research her and her life. She ended up deciding to write this book. In writing the book, she met many interesting characters through her research, including Henrietta's family.
