The story was not really fast paced until the end of the book but it moved along at a pace that kept my attention. I recommend this to any WW2 buffs. It gave me a better understanding of the stress these men and women were under to break the Axis Power's codes and the importance of their thankless work. excellent It was the subject that attracted me to this book, but once I started reading it, it was the characters that held me. I really like Robert Harris's writing style. It was a good story, drew me in and left me wanting more. I read this book in two days flat - having once picked it up I could hardly bring myself to put it down again. Once again Harris's ability to describe a place (in this case Bletchley Park in 1943) in vivid detail comes to the fore in this gripping mystery. And I was also very chuffed with myself for guessing who the spy was several chapters before it started to become obvious! I'd be interested to see the film now, although I'm sure it can't be as good as the book. no reviews | add a review

Der Titel, der Klappentext und das Thema scheinen sehr interessant und spannend zu sein, aber leider hält dieses Hörbuch überhaupt nicht, was es verspricht. Es hätte so viel mehr daraus werden können, es ist nur an allem gescheitert.
Die Suche nach der verschwundenen Claire wird immer wieder durch unnütze und ewig lange und damit auch langweilige Erklärungen der Enigma unterbrochen, die dann auch so umständlich ausgedrückt werden, dass man gar nicht den Versuch macht weiter zu zu hören.
Und da man stets der Versuchung erlegen ist seine Ohren auf Durchzug zu stellen, verliert man irgendwann den roten Faden und fragt sich insgeheim, ob das Buch überhaupt einen hatte.
Auch ist die Vortragsweise so langweilig, dass man nicht zu hören will.
Zu letzt wäre da noch der Mangel an Ausdrucksfähigkeit zu nennen. Dieses Buch besteht nur aus irgendeiner, mir schleierhaften Handlung, die das Thema irgendwie total verfehlt hat.
Also ich kann nur von diesem Buch abraten, da es einem nichts bringt, leider.
