How to Stop Time by Matt Haig Book Summary

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Library.

“A quirky romcom dusted with philosophical observations….A delightfully witty…poignant novel.” —The Washington Post
  
“She smiled a soft, troubled smile and I felt the whole world slipping away, and I wanted to slip with it, to go wherever she was going… I had existed whole years without her, but that was all it had been. An existence. A book with no words.”

Tom Hazard has just moved back to London, his old home, to settle down and become a high school history teacher. And on his first day at school, he meets a captivating French teacher at his school who seems fascinated by him. But Tom has a dangerous secret. He may look like an ordinary 41-year-old, but owing to a rare condition, he's been alive for centuries. Tom has lived history--performing with Shakespeare, exploring the high seas with Captain Cook, and sharing cocktails with Fitzgerald. Now, he just wants an ordinary life.

Unfortunately for Tom, the Albatross Society, the secretive group which protects people like Tom, has one rule: Never fall in love. As painful memories of his past and the erratic behavior of the Society's watchful leader threaten to derail his new life and romance, the one thing he can't have just happens to be the one thing that might save him. Tom will have to decide once and for all whether to remain stuck in the past, or finally begin living in the present.

How to Stop Time tells a love story across the ages—and for the ages—about a man lost in time, the woman who could save him, and the lifetimes it can take to learn how to live. It is a bighearted, wildly original novel about losing and finding yourself, the inevitability of change, and how with enough time to learn, we just might find happiness.
 
Soon to be a major motion picture starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

Incredible. This book utilized the past and the present in clever ways to help to delve into the characters and the world they inhabit. It takes a simple concept and does a lot with it, using it to develop plot and emotion that lasts for centuries. One of the best books I’ve read.

Nice to see a good day time time with have. Than was a goodwill day for the day and I got a good job with the service

Kept Me Reading. I loved the rich history and story within these pages. The characters came alive for me which is a wonderful experience especially when reading for pleasure. Engaging, suspenseful in places, and a delight to read.

Tremendously satisfyinh. If there are holes in the plot I did not notice them. AllI felt was the joy of reading a creative tale exceptionally well told.

Great story. Great story,writing and prose Wonderful progression and look back during the story Suggested for anyone who likes thoughtful science fiction

A different read. Matthew Haig’s How to Stop Time novel has an interesting plot. It’s part history, part science fiction, part thriller. Keep reading and the story and characters will grab you.

Fantasy & history. Lovely fantastical historic fiction!

Another great one from Matt. Very enchanting book for anyone who loves history with a blend of fantasy and romance. Although I do not consider this a love story in a traditional sense but a book about society and their constant obsession with other times except those they’re currently living in. Although the climax wasn’t the strongest part of the story the journey there made it worthwhile. I couldn’t put this book down and loved the changing of timelines to drive the narrative.

Wonderful time odyssey. Such an interesting and clever way to talk about time and life. I really love the twist of the story and how it’s like a historical fiction novel spanning 4 centuries as well as being in the present. Well done! Read this after Midnight Library and am very happy I did!!

Fascinating read. This book didn’t disappoint. I have always been fascinated by the concept of time, time travel, and immortality. Instead of the usual vampire story, this one about a mortal man with a special condition addresses emotion - or the lack of - and the realization that time & “progress” don’t necessarily mean the world gets better or that people learn from the past. I would recommend this book and look forward to reading more of Mr. Haig’s work.

Mindblowing. It makes sense of your whole existence .. it makes you relieved .. answers the fundamental question that bugs you all the time .. Matt Haig speaks what goes on in the human mind .. a masterpiece

Amazing and thought provoking. I really enjoyed this book and I hated to have it end. Although some sections seemed to be drawn out a bit much there was never an unreadable moment! The concept of “time travel”isn’t new but I found this book to be a really fresh take on the genre.

Magical love story. Not a love story about lovers as much as a story about love in life. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Time travel by memory. Matt Haig has reached out with a compelling story. A character startling real and a great story. I would place it with Time and Again as a classic

Love them all! Matt Haig is an excellent storyteller!. Keep them coming! Love the stories and can’t wait for the films.

Great story, regular ending. Had me absorbed until the last 20 pages... loved the story, but the ending seemed too rushed

Time is only in the mind-. Always enjoy reading books that spark the need to be introspective. This one invokes contemplation of how to live a full life and recognizing the small moments…… no matter how many years you may have.

great book. i felt that the beginning was a bit slower but all those pieces were hugely important to the full puzzle. as the reader, we needed to understand tom as well as he understood himself which, was difficult considering the plot but it was explained so well! very heart warming and EXTREMELY thought provoking. another wonderful book!

Time. Time is one of the greatest phenomenons there is. As man gets smarter. As technology and worlds grow. No one has or will master time. This book speaks to that. I love this author. Midnight Library is one of my all time favorite books. But…I felt this book was missing something. Very enjoyable read. If you liked this book go read Mitch Albom’s book called the time keeper.

Whimsical. Pleasant and light writing, sweet story. Not quite the time travel I was looking for.

Slow read. The interesting bits are subdued. I get making the mc a passive character in history but it just feels like a boring Forest Gump. Then when the book starts to get interesting we get introduced to some easily avoidable, false guilt conflict that falls flat. They were a frank conversation away from not needing 300 pages of book

It has lots of details like colors,glitter and I like the color. It’s an amazing book I am in the 4 grade and I really like the book I would recommend this book.

Good read. I like the intertwining of history with the story line.

Okay. This book had an interesting plot, but it was very slow. For me, the climax and resolution fell flat. However, I’m sure that it will make an interesting film. I’d definitely watch it.
