So Helpful!

For me, when I found out that I could no longer eat gluten I was completely lost. I didn't even know what gluten was let alone how to deal with not eating it anymore. This book was such a help in understanding what was going on with me and how I could make myself better.

This book is written in such a way that it seems as though it was meant for those who just got "the news" that they get to never eat gluten again becase it is upbeat and optimistic on you being able to do it without actually sacraficing anything.

Very good book :)

celiac is not an allergy it is an immune system malfunction

celiac is not truly an allergy, it is an immune system disorder. your body treats gluten as a poison. read up on the MEDICAL research not just what every "expert' on the web says!

I do NOT recommend


I was diagnosed with coeliac/celiac (spelling depends on which side of the Atlantic you are on) as an infant. Inadvertantly (on reflection) given the green light to eat gluten when I was 12 and then back to full-blown Coeliac/Celiac 20yrs later. Growing up in Europe it was much easier to live gluten-free. However, I bought this book to help make the adjustment to living gluten-free in the US. This book just broke my heart in terms of an overzealous mother who I was relying on to help and this book failed in so many ways. Knowing the way of gluten-free, I really felt this book misguided at best. Please find another way than buy this book.

A little trick, internet searches using the European spelling "COELIAC" will guide you to sites, agencies etc that have more information. The US is a great place but behind the 8-ball on Celiac and this author, epitomizes such.

Great Read!

My 16-year-old stepson was assigned this reading for his academic/social coaching blocks in school. It's an excellent read; life skills for everyone!

Abridged audio version is WAY TOO abridged

I selected the CD abridged version of this book after loving the book and wanting my son to get the content. The points were not developed or illustrated enough to have the content be memorable.

Annoyed

My parents bought this book last year for me as a christmas present. It was a nice idea but i am capable of be coming sucessful without the help from a book. At first glance this book turns off teens all together. It looks like the awful pants someone in their 50's would wear. The font is not eye catching and all together it reminds me of a book i would have to read in health class that told me to plan for the future and create goals . not that those are bad ideas . i myself being sixteen just didnt want to even go near this book .

The 7 Habitis of Highly Effective Teens

A while back I worked for a school for struggling teens, and this was recommended reading for the students and I decided to pick it up to see what it was all about and loved the way the material was presented. At that time my daughter was about four and was irrelevant to her so after reading it for my job I just put the title back on the shelf and just remembered the title when my daughter became fourteen. I re-read this book and decided to give it to my daughter before the struggling began and boy am I glad I did. The format is great for her and she devoured the book. She seems more confident and sure of her self as Sean Covey uncovers the secret of way teens deal with today's issues in their lives. It is a fun to read book for teenager to read and uses language that is appropriate for them. It is starting to open line of communications between the two of us and that feels great.

An astonishing book about an incredible woman

Usually a book is either a great story, or well written, or enthralling or informative. This is one of the few I've ever read that tick all four boxes. I bought the audio version, and even after hours on the road I found myself sitting in the driveway because I was so caught up in the story wanted to know what happened next.
It seamlessly incorporates the writer's journey into the story of Henrietta and her family, all the while asking ethical questions that need to be answered. It's a wonderful book, and the audio voice is enthralling. I can't praise it highly enough.

Rating :

Excellent Book!

I am a scientist with a graduate degree however I was not aware of the vast impact of HeLa cells. The human element to this story is amazing. I liked that the book is a mix of the contributions of HeLa cells, a historical account of the family and also brings up a lot of interesting bioethical questions. The author has obviously done extensive research and was very detailed in her account. The writing is not the most polished but considering the amount of work and dedication and that this is Rebecca's first book I found it a very powerful read. If you are interested in science in any way buy this book!

just a note

I have only read the reviews, trying to decide if I want to read this book.

I think I need to read the book just to make sure the author makes a note that cells are no longer used for research without a patient's permission (from the reviews, it sounds like this bit of info is missing).

'paying' for a patient's contribution is not even close to being practical. First of all, turning a cancer biopsy into a cell line isn't a sure thing. Many stop growing after a few passages and won't survie in cell culture. Second of all, the researchers themselves are not making money off of those contributions. If a cell line does become useful and is made available commercially, patient privacy (HIPAA laws) prevent anyone from being able to connect that cell line to the original patient.



Rating :

Excellent Read

This book was excellent - well researched, with Henrietta Lacks' story told in a compelling way. Loved every bit of it and now have a whole new perspective on the world of cell research.

Rating :

Deep issues, light writing

I read a great review on the New York Times and bought the book, but it is not as good as I thought. Skloot discusses very interesting issues pertaining history and science intelligently, but the book doesn't go very deeply into them as it focus on Lacks. Still will recommend, difficult to put down.
