This is a fable about the first man on earth to count the hours. Basically: "Father Time" must help a teen who wants to give up & a man who wants to live forever learn to value their time now.

Its a pretty short/easy read, it had some pretty insightful points to make about time and its value to humans.

The book points out a good few examples of the time-related phrases that we all use, words that imply is something that we can't control. This has made me want to work on a time related project.

I felt that this was really quite heavy handed and preachy. I like Albom's books, but this wasn't his best.

Read something more light-hearted

Thoughtful and more time aware - as if I need to be!

Mitch also works as a columnist and a broadcaster, and serves on numerous charitable boards.

Mitch has a lot of thought provoking work out there. I'm glad I discovered him.
