Imitation Game: Alan Turing Decoded
by Jim Ottaviani
This book could have been so much better, but it fell short for me. I don’t think the interview style really worked for the narrative, especially since it was generally confusing to quickly determine who the narrator was. There were few places in the story where I felt the narrative flowed smoothly, which makes for difficult reading. I was also disappointed that the authors spent the least amount of time on the aspects of the story I was most interested in and the most amount of time on the aspects of the story I was least interested in, but perhaps that is just personal taste.
Overall, this book is a good introduction to Alan Turning’s tragically brief life, but I found the author’s note and recommended reading in the back the most helpful for learning more.
