The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom

In The Time Keeper, 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.

Took way too long to get to the point and was annoyingly predictable

It was an easy read with a good message. Some nice aphorisms to take away with you.

I have to say, now my favourite book. For possibly the first time a book has truly made me think about how I view life and, in this case, particularly time.

I wish I could gift this book to everyone. It might leave you in tears, but in a good way. Its message is subtle and yet profound and forces you stop and think about time. In our world that seems to go faster and faster, where we rarely stop to appreciate the moments, the people, the single miracle of the day that is given to us, this wonderful fable takes you on a journey of time and reminds us all of the miracle that each day presents and that no matter what happens, that we should fully appreciate all its small treasures and how precious each life is.
