About this listen

 In this stunning new novel, the inventor of the world's first clock is punished for trying to measure time. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more years for themselves. At last, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two earthly people the true meaning of time.

e returns to our world - now dominated by the obsession with time he so innocently began - and commences a journey with two unlikely partners: one a teenage girl who is about to give up on life, the other a wealthy old businessman who wants to live forever. To save himself, he must save them both. And stop the world to do so.

Gripping, simply told and filled with deep human truth, this unforgettable story will inspire readers everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time, how they spend it and how precious it truly is.©2012 Mitch Albom Contemporary Fiction Fiction Genre Fiction Metaphysical & Visionary Inspiring Heartfelt Thought-Provoking

I've read most of Mitch Albom's books and this one does not disappoint. And Dan Stevens is a great narrator.

A lovely Story..

Very thought-provoking. Wasn't sure going in but.. I very much enjoyed the story. Not the best written book ever, but if you are a normal forgiving reader, I think the good bits faaaar outweigh any minor niggles. Glad I read it, made me think.

An interesting tale about time and how we began to track it.
As with all Mitch Albom's books, it's an easy, distracting and enjoyable read. The narrator takes you with him in a journey of the lives of three people all in search for more time. Aren't we all looking for just that?!

You can never go wrong with a Mitch Albom book
