I came across this inspirational fable while I was searching for gentle reads. I had a pretty good idea of what I would be in for—but I also had little idea. Here and there, I thought the author could have said a little less, could have…

"'Time is not something you give back. The very next moment may be an answer to your prayer. To deny that is to deny the most important part of the future.' 'What’s that?' 'Hope.'” Another beautiful story from Mitch Albom with lessons to…

A beautiful and touching story of the meaning of time and the consequences of our human desire to measure it, to wish it would pass more quickly, to wish it would slow down, or to wish we were immortal. This is the second time I have read…

Mitch Albom weaves characters together in a way unlike any other author I’ve ever read! The way the lives of three people intertwined tells a beautiful story about the way we each see time differently, yet in one way or another we all wish…

This book was a bit far-reaching into a bit fantasy/sci-fi, but I loved the subject and the main character, Dor, who ultimately ended up being 'Father Time'. Just makes you stop for a moment and appreciate 'time'. I couldn't wait to…

I find the flow of the story interesting, the intertwined connections between the characters unravels as the chapter went on.

For me, this book provoked different levels of the conception of time. Perhaps give more thought to how we prioritize our time. What really matters. Not going down the rabbit hole of distraction and meaningless pursuit. The mystery of…

This is a fable about the meaning of time. But it is also grounded in the author’s faith in the existence of God. The main character, Dor, invents Time by creating gadgets that can be used to measure it. Time is cast as a villain, robbing…

Another winner by Mitch Albim. His stories always remind me to step back and consider what's really important in life :)

I usually like this author, but this book didn’t keep my attention. I gave up after the first 50 pages.

In today's world where time is given great importance, it is difficult to go without bringing it up in our daily lives. It's time to meet. It's time to move on. What time do you need to get there? What time does it end? Where has the…

If you have time to read a book about time, that is overkill and dragged out, then read it as it is okay. However, if you do not have time to read a book about time, then move onto a different book. For me, the book did not captivate me…

Came upon this title in the VPL catalogue, needing a read that would act as a distraction from the everyday...what a gift this little book was. A very quick and potent read, had the best sleep in weeks afterwards... Highly recommended as…

It has been a long time since I finished a book in one day. Though this is a short novel, I was immediately drawn into the plot and theme, which I found quite fascinating. My son had previously read it and given a good rating. His and…

It has been many years since I read a work of fiction. Then, while at the Library I read the book, "Tuesdays with Morrie," by Mitch Albom. "Tuesdays," of course is not a work of fiction, but a very moving work of non-fiction and I was…

There was a lot of nice prose, especially towards the end, but it was a bit of a yawn actually.

Not a very well crafted book, with a very thin plot

I loved this book! The ending is one of the most emotional things I have ever read, and hugely impacted my life. Thought-provoking. Life changing. Hugely emotional.

I've loved all of Mitch Albom's books thus far, although in this one I feel that he has overreached himself a bit. All his books are contrived and fanciful to some extent, so one knows what to expect from him. But here, he conjures up a…

This is an interesting look at time and why having only a finite amount of time on earth is so important.

Interesting read with the use of an hourglass to reverse the direction of time. The book makes me think that while I cannot go back and change things that have already happened, I can think about how I can better my life (and possibly…

Complete garbage. The characters were all one-sided, stereotypes with zero depth. You will enjoy this if you're a dunce.

The Best job Mr.Albom Has done a must read with a good morning cup o Joe.

Like most of his books Mr. Albom makes you evaluate and think about your life or life and death in general.

A patron review from the Adult Summer Game: "This is another thought-provoking tale from the inimitable Mitch Albom. This is in effect a modern-day parable revealing the folly in wanting to control time. The point is made that humans are…
