Matt Haig (1) (1975–)

A novel that seamlessly blends time travel, historical fiction, philosophy, and a hint of romance. Tom has lived for over 400 years. He isn’t a vampire, and he isn’t immortal. He just has a rare condition that allows him to age very, very slowly. In that time he has seen many things and has found ways to survive that aren’t always savoury. Will he rediscover his humanity before it is too late? How to Stop Time is a “read in one sitting” ode to life.

The premise of this book was interesting at the start but about halfway through turned into a cloying self-help manual that was too overbearing in its message. I found myself skimming pages through the last chapters just to finish.

Prachtig verhaal met een grote levensles.
Kijk niet achterom nadat je een keuze hebt gemaakt.
Kijk vooruit en leef

Mooi verhaal over het ontstaan van Kerstmis.
