Explanation Supposing Books The Time Keeper

In this fable, the first man on earth to count the hours becomes Father Time. 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.

Evaluate Out Of Books The Time Keeper

Rather quirky and unusual but still a light read, this is a story about Father Time and the man who discovered time in the first place. I enjoyed the way it was told in short chapters which circled around three different points of view. There was humour and there was sadness and there was a lot of philosophy about life and death, but it was never deep or hard to understand. I have not read any of this author's other (more famous) books yet but I certainly will now. This was an ideal book to read

Albom's fingers on the keyboard turn out golden prose, whether a column or a book. The Time Keeper is like a combination of precious metal. The story opens with Dor who lives four thousand years ago. (Edited to add that a person named Sidney who has a private profile complained in a comment 9 months after I wrote this review that I should warn there are spoilers. I don't think this review does, but you can stop reading now if you wish). back to the review... Albom's explanation of Dor's thought



Oh, Dor..DorDor. You silly man. What possessed you to measure time? You screwed things up for the rest of us. Now we have to BE places at certain times and DO things until the time comes when we are allowed to go home. Why did you do this to humanity? Someone should imprison you in a cave for 6000 years and make you think about what you did, and not let you out until you are truly sorry.Wait.that is what happened.Dor was a curious man who lived 6000 years in the past. He wanted to measure

In the beginning, I kept falling asleep while reading this book. By the time Dor was compelled to action for his two souls, I was able to push through to the conclusion of the book. I found it satisfying as it reinforces the importance of being in the moment and being grateful for those moments, whether they are good or bad. It reinforces the value of being interdependent with those we love and care about, that we need to be open and honest and fully present for them. I recommend this to others,

3.5 compelling stars. Picking things from the very grass root level, this book The Time Keeper tells you a story about time. The founders of time, the birth of time, all about time. And about how once it laid its hold on mankind, everything changed.To judge this book from my point of view would be different from many. Low acquaintance with subjects like philosophy, and no idea what-so-ever on the myths about time (Yes, no idea about the Tower of Babel even, sorry) are some predominant factors.

The first time I read a Mitch Albom book was in my Sociology of Death and Dying course during my university days. The above titled course naturally suggests that we read Tuesdays with Morrie. Ironically enough, Alboms latest novel, The Time Keeper would have easily blended into the lesson plans of my other elective, Myths, Symbols, and Rituals due to the fact that it is a true example of a creation myth. If you are expecting a standard, fictional novel, then expect The Time Keeper to fall short.
