Mitch Albom takes on time and what it means to be human in this inspirational fantasy. Three people may/do/will learn what time means and how integral it is to everyone.

I may have gone into this with the wrong attitude because it did nothing for me. Too simplistic by far, & not a patch on Five People... or Tuesdays.... Too much reliance on god & the way things be. In just a few words & Sarah & Victor see what it's all about. Ha! People haven't captured time, time holds them, whether we count it or not.

Normally I enjoy the short reads from this author but I was so disappointed in this one. Yes, it's imaginative but far too simplistic. He could have written this story in a page or two. I hope he does better on his next novel.

I typically love Mitch Albom’s books, but this one fell a bit flat for me. The concept of the story was interesting and pulled me in, but it didn’t blend together all that well for me. I will say that it certainly made me stop to think about time in all its many forms and how I can’t even conceive of living my life without some measure of time.
Very good - typical Mitch Albom. Inspiring and worth the read. Short but meaty.
Touches your heart and makes you think.
