I borrowed this graphic novel from the library out of curiosity as I wanted to compare it to the recent movie based on Turing's life, 'The Imitation Game'. They were both quite similar, but also different in the things the focused on. Although they both had focus on how he tragically ended his life, this book seemed to dwell on his internal struggle of keeping his secret life hidden than the movie did. He was definitely a genius who was far ahead of his time, but the way he was treated in the end was so tragic and we are left wondering what could have been.

This is a well-drawn and written book and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in the life of Alan Turing.
