This book was phenomenal. I listened to it through an audio version and would highly recommend doing so. When this was recommended to me by a friend I skeptically gave it a try and it has turned out to be one of my favorite books of this year.

This book takes you through a journey of discovering quite a bit about human-kind and our nuances to be awful to each other. This can be extremely humorous or extremely sad depending on the circumstances. There are also parts of this that will push your boundaries of what you find to be morally or ethically acceptable.

This is my first read by Matt Haig. HOW TO STOP TIME is unique, deep, sometimes long-winded, sad, desperate and interesting. It has a past-present approach to story telling that worked very well.

The protagonist, Tom doesn’t age, at least not normally. He’s met Shakespeare, he’s loved but he’s lost so deeply and he remembers so much. This is a tale of such longing and of the inertia of existing for so long. It’s tragic, not particularly uplifting or depressing but it left me somewhat sad.

I particularly enjoyed the original storyline but I struggled occasionally with the pacing.

The audio narration, male single POV was very good.

In depth story with great series potential
I’ve jumped on the ‘must read before the tv series’ and I’m really glad I did. I’ve been meaning to read this ever since it came out but TBRs are what they are. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, it was well-researched and deep.

Working in academia, I appreciated the context and the attention to detail was excellent in this area. The story was engaging and satisfying but complicated. I read and listened to this book dependant on what I was doing and it was defintely harder to concentrate with the audio at times.

I’m looking forward to the rest of the books.
