Review of 'Alan Turing' on 'Goodreads'

3 žvaigždutės

• Overall the book served its purpose, at least for me: I learned a lot about Alan Turing and definitely gained new perspective on him as a person
• I am a computer science major and I had a great interest in the nitty-gritty technological aspect of this book, but even for me it was too much at times. Lengthy, detail-heavy descriptions get boring
• Given the length of this book I expected to get a detailed understanding of Turing's life and work, this book only kind of delivered that. There were moments when it was truly fascinating but then it was right back to the boring technological descriptions.
