Lab Girl

Unfortunately, I don't understand the excitement and buzz about this memoir. I picked it up on audio because several bookish friends loved it (both on audio and in print), and I found it meditative but lacking something. Most memoirs indicate growth. Instead, I found Jahren's treatment of students as an academic pretty poor. She also spent a lot of time on minor stories, while barely scratching the surface on some of the meatier ones. The chapters I loved, I really loved - but they were few and far between for me.
