A well-made graphic novel that is both informative and engaging. This book goes into quite a bit more depth than the film of the same name, and presents us with a picture of a fascinating man who created truly original ideas.
The author lists all his sources for the content of the book, leaving a reader with confidence that the text is closely based on Turing's actual life, in contrast to Hollywood's typical looseness with the facts.
A very good read for anyone interested in the history of computing, homosexuality, or Asperger's (Turing would be considered autistic in today's understanding, as are many brilliant people). If you enjoy biographies, this will probably suit!
