From the author who's inspired millions worldwide with books like Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven comes his most imaginative novel yet, The Time Keeper--a compelling fable about the first man on earth to count the hours.

The man who became Father Time.

In Mitch Albom's newest work of fiction, the inventor of the world's first clock is punished for trying to measure God's greatest gift. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more days, more years. Eventually, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with a magical hourglass and a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two earthly people the true meaning of time.

He returns to our world--now dominated by the hour-counting 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.

Told in Albom's signature spare, evocative prose, this remarkably original tale will inspire readers everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time, how they spend it and how precious it truly is.

A book not worth reading by Mitch

Quite a few books from from Mr Albom I don't want to re read.. Its one of those.. story too confusing and not make any sense. Albom wanted to keep it modern and Archaic at the same time with profound message, result total messed up book and above all whole message is lost too.

Pre-Script: Biased opinion from Albom's fan

Fifth book of this beautiful writer... Tuesdays with Morrie, Five people you meet in Heaven, For one more day, First phone call from Heaven, Time Keeper...

Every time I write about any of his books, I will keep recalling all the books that I have read... Such mesmerizing, perfectly-defining-life books... He is the best self-help author that I know of... Of course, there is Paulo whom I admire to the core. Yet, there is a distinction between these writers. Paulo's books are full of quotes which give you the headlines about life. Mitch Albom's books are the op-ed pages of life. Now, you get it right.

Dor tries to measure everything that he can think of. Even time. He observes that the shadow of an object is the same on every day and herein lies the story of measuring time. He loves only two things - his wife Alli and measuring time. But, when his wife dies of a disease, he decides it is time to teach God a lesson and he climbs a very tall tower to reach God. Then, a blessing or a curse depending on whose perspective you take, God allows Dor to live for eternity. Come back to today and Dor has to teach the value of time to two people - One who is craving for more and one who wants to end their time in this world.

One of the best things about his books is that they are very small. You can complete them in one sitting. Moreover, the way he writes is plain simple. Nothing more and nothing less. Just enough to describe the situation.

Imaginative masterpiece

Loved it. A great fiction novel.
Great, imaginative and different from what I have read so far.
The way Mitch Albom sets this novel in three different parts and then merging them in the end, it was beautifully done.
And it gives a great message related to time in life. (You can't control it but you can utilize it to the fullest)
A must read.

A read that you will remember for some time. In the race against time, we often neglect to love and live the time we have. Read it with an open mind and you will start appreciating more that you already have.

This book may make you think of Time in a different way

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 17 September 2013

Verified Purchase

'With endless time, nothing is special. With no loss or sacrifice, we can't appreciate what we have.'

===Sort Synopsis===

This story starts 6 millennia ago when a man first discovers how to record time and is banished and turned into Father Time.
Only in the 20th century is he released to make amends - ad he has two people to meet up with and work through their problems. A fictional fable about how we think of everything in relation to Time.

===My Opinion===

I have been quite a fan of Mitch Albom, enjoying his two other books, 'The Five People You Meet in Heaven' and 'Tuesdays with Morrie'.
I quite enjoy time travel stories so when say this book was newly released on Amazon I decided to give it a try.
Like all other of Mitch's books it is written in an easy to read style. The chapters are very short and there are quite a few pages with just a few lines of writing on, so although the book is classed as
256 pages the actual story only takes up 136 of them and being short chapters as well you can read it really quickly. You could easily finish it in a day.
I am not quite sure what I think of this book and it was not until you actually got to the end of the story that you had any idea how things would work out.
The main character is Dor, who is clever and figures out how to record time with sticks and shadows. For bringing the awareness of time to the human race he is banished - but then comes back to save two individuals.
I am sorry to say this book did not grip me quite as the other Mitch Albom books did. I enjoyed reading it and wanted to keep reading the net page and the next age, but although it was dealing with how we think of time and how we value it, or not, it did not really resonate with me as much as it should have done.
According to the book 'everything happens when it is supposed to'.
You get to see a certain part of the future where ' everyone can live longer than we imagined. They fill every waking minute with action, but they are empty'.
It is a moral tale to encourage people to value the time they have, and not to wish for the past or the future - tie is limited on earth - so that we value it more - ''There is a reason God limited our days - to make each one special'. For 'when you are measuring time, you are not living it'.
I did enjoy this book in its way - and am not sure really why I feel slightly detached from the characters. I would recommend this as a quick short read - quite enjoyable - but not quite as good as some of Albom's other works

Touching and insightful.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 4 February 2017

Verified Purchase

In Mitch Albom's fourth book he tells the tale of the inventor of the first clock. Thousands of years ago 'Dor' is interested in how time passes. It does have the name 'time' he just counts the passing by marking with sticks etc. He is punished by God for attempting to measure his precious gift and is banished to a cave for centuries. There he is forced to listen to the voices of all those who follow after him, all wanting another day, another year.
Eventually he is granted his freedom. He is given an hour glass and a mission - a chance to redeem himself by teaching 2 people on earth the true meaning of time.
Mitch Albom tells a touching story which everyone can relate to. This book is philosophical, touching and insightful - A true gem

Highly recommend. Very poignant book. In this day and age.
How busy we are in today’s society. Always looking for that extra hour, another job off out to do list.
A truly lovely read.
Cherish your hours, your days, your weeks. Don’t waste your time - it’s precious.
Eat that cake, leave the chores till tomorrow. Who cares? Spend your time wisely. Because in the end it’s all you’ll have to count. Don’t regret what you spent your time doing.
Love, laugh, live.

Entertaining but slow at the beginning

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 28 January 2014

Verified Purchase

I enjoy Mitch Alboms novels, I find them somehow magical and intriguing. They all talk about trascendental matters like life, death and love. This one it is a bit slow to start with, but soon you engage with the characters and want to know more. The way it's been written reminds me of a play script, but works well. I think this book can be recommended to all, but you must be aware that Albom writes interesting stories but with god always as major cause for developments, which might not be to everybody's taste. Although I am an atheist, I enjoy his novels and find interesting his take on life and death.

Important philosophies

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 14 April 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a very readable book you can't resist turning the next page or just reading the next chapter. I love the philosophical morals within the story, time consumes our lives more and more with the assistance of technology. We can easily forget what is important in this world and also that we can take control of what we do with our time. It need not control us or our choices. Food for thought.
