Banished for centuries, as punishment for trying to measure time, the inventor of the world's first clock is finally granted his freedom, along with a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two people the true meaning of time. He returns to our world and embarks on a journey with two unlikely partners: a teenage girl who is about to give up on life and a wealthy, ageing businessman who wants to live for ever. To save himself, he must save them both.
Gripping, and filled with deep human truth, this unforgettable story will inspire readers everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time and just how precious it truly is.
Staff Review:
Time. Some want more, some want less. Some seek immortality, some seek sucide. Is it really time though that we want, or is it control and power?
I enjoyed most of the book except towards the end actually, when I sorta gauge what the ending would be like. Perhaps having read his earlier books, I'd expected the twists to occur only on the last few pages (not chapters in this case). Still, the thought will linger in a reader's mind as to whether time has been utilized to the fullest or wasted on nothingness.
