Okay this book definitely deserves its flowers. It sets you on edge and is beautifully written. This is a modern classic with commentary on race and healthcare and the sordid history of human atrocities in the name of “research” and “progress”.
Part 1 does get a little repetitive. I feel that some of the story was sacrificed for vague descriptions of the experiments. I think a little more narrative about why this was happening would have really fleshed out the book.
The second half is quite underwhelming. Maybe I just didn’t “get it” but I found that it didn’t quite flow the same as Part 1. It felt a bit rushed and a little unresolved.
