bailedI‘m fine with slow-paced books, but this one is like watching paint dry.
so-soGot the audiobook and if I had tried to read it myself I would have put it down before halfway. I loved the parts about Alan and his life but just couldn‘t really getting it the detective‘s story. The ending did hit me in the feels a bit. Overall I just didn‘t love it.

pickAnd suddenly I was completely intrigued by the plot. I‘m no big mathematician, definitely not, but I liked to learn so much about Alan Turing‘s life and passion. Lagercrantz wonderfully explains complicated theories to non-experts. 😍 I loved and understood those parts even though I can‘t re-tell them.
Keeping the guys from the Government Code and Cypher School (G.C. & C.S.) apart was a bit difficult, but I was able to follow the plot, anyway.
Off topic, but I just wanted to find a nice, not-cheesy saying to write into a “Get-well-soon”-card for a dear friend …
Gosh folks, so many terrible, awful quotes and things on my German internet. 🙄 Nothing I‘d use for introduction with a good conscience. Reading this makes you feel worse instead of better, believe me.
So in the end it was like always: After hesitation I use my own words and run out of space at the end of the card. 😇

We had a very togetherness-y, cosy Sunday gaming 🎮 “Super Mario World” and “Earth Bound”. 💑 I enjoyed this so much, seems, it was a much-needed downtime for me.
Now that I am grass widow again I continue my audiobook, I‘m very curious how the “case” Turing will be brought to an end while I prepare kohlrabi with creamy cheese for dinner. 🎧📖
I‘m not quite sure if I didn‘t know or just forgot that the book is about Alan Turing.
I like it – the bits of his biography that you get. At first I wasn‘t sure if I would also like Leonard Corell, the police assistant dealing with Turing‘s case, but meanwhile I think we get along well.
Even though it‘s hard to follow the story with the flu 😷, cough and heavy headaches.
I own this as physical copy as well but because I don‘t have the energy to concentrate on reading at the moment I am happy I found the audiobook.
The only book by Lagercrantz I know is the 4th volume of the “Millennium”-trilogy. I liked it – with this he did a good job 👏🏼, but I also wanted to know how his very own creations are.
Let the story begin …
“Life is an enigma. We have to approach it not scientifically but poetically.”
