2018 - book 16

Pages: 336

I've got to start reading shorter books. :). But all the interesting ones are long. 

Easy read. 
Interesting story. 
Another good glimpse of people living in poverty and its effects. 

Also, did you know that it wasn't until 1975 that doctors had to explain procedures and side effects to people and have them sign a consent form?!? 

And that doctors were doing medical experiments on people without their permission throughout the 1950s and 1960s? And still some in the 70s? And that they probably were much later than that. Some of the experimenting was harmless and some of it was horrible. This book only touches on a few of those practices as things happen to side characters, but it was enough to surprise me. Wow.
