I found this after reading The Rose Code because I was so amazed the fictional story had real people behind it. This book was slow at times but still interesting to dive into a new part of history for me.

Big snow storm this weekend. I'll be cuddled up with this book which I wanted to read after loving The Rose Code and finding out it is based on real people.

I‘m fine with slow-paced books, but this one is like watching paint dry.

Soubhiville 🤣 that doesn‘t sound fun. 3y
Hooked_on_books @Soubhiville The interesting thing is that this is the writer who picked up the Millennium series books after Steig Larsson died and he‘s done a great job with them. So I know he can craft a good book! Too bad he didn‘t here. It was a wretched experience. 😵‍💫 3y

Got 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.

This was my non-fiction book for March. I visited BP while I was in London at the beginning of this month. I found it very interesting, each chapter was on a different theme. #nonfiction

So today I visited Bletchley Park, it was very interesting. Learning about the people who broke the codes, their lifes and the machines. We owe a lot to all these mem and women!

This is a very informative read on all of the activities of the cryptographers of Bletchley Park. I hadn‘t previously read much about Colossus or Heath Robinson (both even more advanced predecessors of modern computers than the famous bombes) so I really loved that section.

And 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.
