Mitch Albom is an author, playwright, and screenwriter who has written seven books, including the
international bestseller Tuesdays with Morrie, the bestselling memoir of all time. His first novel, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, was an instant number-one New York Times bestseller that has since sold more than six million copies worldwide. For One More Day, his second novel, was also a #1 New York Times bestseller. Both books were made into acclaimed TV films. Mitch also works as a columnist and a broadcaster, and serves on numerous charitable boards. He lives with his wife, Janine, in Michigan.
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.

I like it. Simple but with an important message.
评分挺无聊的这书,值得说的只有一段话:yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late.A dog does not check its watch.Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures the time. Men alone chimes the hour. And because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.
评分第一个记录时间的就是罪人么,时时刻刻都在看手表并禁锢在时刻表里,但我不觉得这是罪。从不因为知道时间而变得不满足,也没有不自由。这本书的设定就是纯鸡汤,丝毫经不起推敲。适合初中英语以上水平阅读。
评分心灵鸡汤又来了
