Juan Pablo _uan_edin — Grab your chair and hang on for a Good Read packed full of adventure and lessons on life. This is a true life novel written in the author’s maternal grandmother's voice. Lily was a woman of independence and spunk. She broke and raced horses, taught school, bootlegged, learned to fly a plane all while getting an education and being a wife and mother. Every disappointment, start over, good and bad times had a life lesson in it. I hope to face life's challenges with as much courage and strength! She was not a perfect women, she made mistakes, poor choices, and tried to do better. This would be a Great Book Club read!

Jesse Brioux jessebrioux — This is a really weird book. The main character is seduced by and marries a succubus who happens to actually be a 12 (or 11?) year old girl (not such a nice image there). There’s some sort of evil dragon that has to be let out of a box, where the heart of a dead child is still living with the dragon inside it, and the girl, who is a witch, wants to get it out. So she tries to get the main character to do this for her. And her grandmother is trying to stop her. She’s actually laying in a bed in a nursing home like a vegetable, but her soul is apparently out doing all sorts of important things like keeping the dragon in its box. This is an entertaining book, with thankfully not too much religion in it (as Card is wont to do), but also rather strange, and overall not one that’s going to stay with me.

Adam Youngman aboveaveragebees — The documentary based off this book is better than the book. I learned Robert Evans is a Republican. In the movie you don't learn that, which is really preferable for enjoying it.

Cody Abshire _ydro_ippie — 3.5 stars. A good book about the famous HeLa cell line that has contributed so much to science, interlaced with the story of the original donor, Henrietta Lacks, and her family. Skloot objectively discusses the legal and ethical issues involved when research is carried out on tissue samples taken from human subjects. Do you own every piece of your body? Should you be informed whenever a bit of it, however small, is taken away and experimented upon? Are you entitled to compensation if a corporation profits from research done on your genetic material? You might not be surprised at the answers to these questions for a poor, uneducated black patient in 1951 - Henrietta was not asked, was not informed, was not compensated. It's interesting to consider that the answers are still uncertain for a modern patient. The science in the book is lightweight. I wish the author had written more about HeLa and a little less about her personal relationship with Henrietta's daughter.
