Some challenges that Rebecca Skloot faced while writing a book for such a broad audience were that she had to be careful on her selection of words in her writing. If she would have used medical terms, the everyday citizen may not understand what is going on, and they soon will lose their interest in the story. She had to write with the mindset of writing that everyone would understand, yet it still being professional and politically correct.
As a reader there are some challenges I anticipate when I am reading TOLOHL. I am very interested and focused as I read but there are questions and concerns that come across my mind that I have a hard time with. One of the main challenges I have is understanding why this is happening and how it was able to happen to someone. It was taking something personal and private from someone without his or her consent. To me that is violating a law. As I read more into the story, I hope to find an explanation of why this took place.
