It is heavy on describing the cryptoanalysis, which I skimmed. This book took me six (6) months or so to read (I read other books as well while reading this one).
I didn't have the best time reading it (I think I fell asleep a couple times listening to it without realizing) because of how technical a lot of the parts were which I didn't get, but I did finally make it through which I was very proud of. So, I ended up getting the audiobook and just listened to that whenever I could.
Less than 3 pages in I knew I couldn't just read it. Sometimes they would talk about certain problems and I completely didn't understand what they were talking about.Įnjoyment: 5/20 (1/4 star)- I struggled to make it through this book. Writing: 7/20 (1/4 star)- As I've already mentioned, it was very detailed and that got to be a bit much for me at times because I didn't understand all the things they were talking about. I felt like they didn't describe some settings as much as they could have, and they described certain things in so much detail that I couldn't really follow it as well because I don't know all the technical aspects of things that they're referring to. Setting: 7/20 (1/4 star)- There was so much detail put into everything, and it was a lot at certain times. There was a bit of it that I felt was unnecessary, but it's good they included it if you want that much detail. Plot: 10/20 (1/2 star)- It was very interesting to hear about what Alan's life was like and everything he did.
You learned more about everyone he knew, but what each person was actually like sort of blended together because there were so many people by the end. I really appreciated hearing about what he did and went through. Characters: 10/20 (1/2 star)- The whole book tells you the amazing story of Alan Turing's life.
