HOW MANY LIFETIMES DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN HOW TO LIVE?

Tom Hazard has a dangerous secret. He may look like an ordinary 41-year-old history teacher, but he’s been alive for centuries. From Elizabethan England to Jazz-Age Paris, from New York to the South Seas, Tom has seen it all. As long as he keeps changing his identity, he can stay one step ahead of his past – and stay alive. The only thing he must not do is fall in love.

But what if the one thing he can't have just happens to be the one thing that might save him?

Great idea but too much drama

although the subject and idea for this book is an interesting concept, the main character seems to be troubled all the time, unable to find contentment or happiness.
it's too much, exaggerated and enerving at times.

I love it

I feel like a kid again listening to this book, it is so cosy and the narrators voice is relaxing to listen to. Good book 😊 Can't wait for the tv show!

travelling and time is always nice

fun story and well put. very good narrator work. it does make you stop and think about time, how we navigate through it. nice read

Concept

I enjoyed the concept and the way the story unfolded between time periods… it has a melancholic mood.

I loved The Humans but not this one.

I bought this book because The Humans was one of my all-time favorites. When I saw that this book had the same narrator and the same author, I figured I couldn't go wrong. But I did go wrong.
