Review of 'The Man Who Knew Too Much' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A mix of biography and detailed descriptions of Turing's science. I'm not sure it works so well as either. The biography details seem quite sketchy and very distant, while the science (the description at once far too detailed but not really enough to really get a good understanding of it) perhaps doesn't fit so well in a biography.
