How to Stop Time: A Novel

I love this authors writing style. He interweaves so many truths into his fascinating stories. This was a book about a man who lives longer than most humans. He gets to live many different lives so it’s a similar idea to his other book, The Midnight Library.

3.75/5 ⭐️ I truly enjoyed the stories of a man who had been alive since the days of Shakespeare, but ultimately the story fell short when it came to romance and the main plot of finding his daughter. The main character was certainly immature given how "old" he is meant to be.

This was a good book. I think it's a typical type of story for him. It was depressing at times but ends on an inspiring and hopeful note and message. I loved the almost 1st person view of history through out and the writing is very good!

“How to Stop Time” is a well-written story that explores themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. The protagonist’s journey through different centuries is captivating, prompting readers to reflect on their lives. The descriptions bring each era to life, making it easy to visualize the scenes. While the pacing can be uneven and some characters feel a bit flat, the themes of immortality and human connection are impactful. This book skillfully blends humor and deep emotions, reminding us to cherish every moment, making it a memorable read despite its flaws.

Fabulous story! A unique plot about a man who ages very slowly and has experienced centuries of historical events because he was there, in person. He is not the only one with this genetic condition, however, it must not be made known to others. Definitely a MUST READ!!!
