I finished the last bit of Mitch Albom’s The Timekeeper as soon as I got up this morning. I read it until 1 am, tried to sleep, read more at 3 am, slept for a bit, and had to finish it at 6 am. It was that good. In fact, in the in-between times while trying to fall asleep, I just laid in the quiet dark thinking about it.
It is the story of time. It’s the story about people who want time to pass more quickly and about those who wish it would slow down. It a story about love. It’s a story about how we don’t have a clue that we’re so caught up in our own pains that we miss the big picture entirely.
At least that what it was to me. My sister read it and it could be different for her. It could mean something else entirely for you. It’s that kind of book. Exquisitely written. Unique and creative storyline. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything quite like it or quite know how to explain such a story. It’s not only a book I highly recommend, but it’s one of those books everyone should read because you will be better off for reading it. It will change you. It will cause you to think. It may even answer some of those questions we ask about life over and over. It did that for me. It shifted my perspective. How do I feel after reading it? I have to agree with my sister, I feel peaceful and somehow content in an odd sort of way.
And so, as another day goes by, The Timekeeper by Mitch Albom is definitely a keeper, and…I have written.
