Imitation Game: Alan Turing Decoded by Jim Ottaviani
challenging
slow-paced
1.0
It was extremely difficult to follow. There were constantly people talking and the speakers would change without warning or indication.
I learned little to nothing about Turing's work, as everything seemed too technical for laymen to grasp. At first, this served to demonstrate Turing's genius compared to his family and peers but the whole book was essentially gibberish. I am less clear than I was before reading about what meaningful contributions Turing provided to the war.
It was very boring and difficult to read. There's an entire page of text printed backward for seemingly no reason. The tone was weird-- dark and depressing feeling, even during events that seemed positive.
I truly cannot think of a book I have enjoyed less.
