具体描述
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.

Goodreads 7.64分。读之前不知道本书的作者就是写了《相约星期二》和《你在天堂里遇见的五个人》的那位……有关时间和人生的小小寓言，发现被归类为“inspirational fiction”（励志小说）。语言还是简单而美的，所以道理和情节就不太重要啦，读完感觉心境又能稍微平和一些了。P.S. 这本对待宗教的态度比较放松，对于神秘上帝的存在也没那么强调，所以比起The Alchemist读起来没什么负担。
评分我个人是比较喜欢这种略带魔幻风格和串联的书 因为想象力丰富 读的时候就各种联想了 哈哈 这个有电影吗？
