Prior to this latest novel written by Mitch Albom, I have read four of his past six books and like them all. I was straight away attracted to this latest book of his when I spotted it on the bookshelf, partly because I was curious about what sort of story this inspirational author could make out of time keeping, which is, as you understand, a subject I am very interested in.
This book is of course not about watches or time pieces, but rather, the meaning of time.
This novel is, in my opinion, the easiest to read compared with his previous best sellers, and yet it is for me the most touching and inspirational of all. I could hardly put the book down from the moment I started reading it. It tells a compelling tale of the first man on earth to count the hours. The man who became Father Time.
"Man alone measures time.
Man alone chimes the hour.
And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralysing fear that no other creature ensures.
A fear of time running out."
A powerful story that makes me cry.
