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?

Everything I love about vampires/time travel without the sci-fi element
Really really enjoyed this book. Becoming quite the Matt Haig fan apparently. It had all the elements of my favourite vampire books (living an extraordinarily long life and having to go undetected whilst watching history being made around you) without the cringey blood sucking and lust fuelled seduction. Loved it.

Would make a better movie
It's a good idea, just a bit too slow and lacks a danger aspect you would expect from a secret society. As a movie it would probably move faster.

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.

Antidote to despair wrapped in a great story
Matt Haig is an artist. As such, he has a keen insight into the situation of being human. He suffers along with all of us--thinks and feels deeply about our common pains and delights. I don't know him personally, but his writing is shot through with evidence that these things are true.
Somehow, though, this depth doesn't stop him from writing stories full of humor, mystery, suspense, and love. They are paradoxes, these tales of his. Light and heavy. Calculated and warm. Philosophical but made buoyant with whimsy.
How to Stop Time is another triumph for the art of storytelling and for the hopeful pursuit of living.

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.

Superb as I expected from Matt Haig
I don't suppose any people expect to learn lessons on how to have a wonderful life from a novel about a man who is over four hundred years old, but believe me you will when you read this story. However, please don't fear that this is a boring preachy affair. In fact it is a wonderfully entertaining story that skips across the centuries at a cracking pace and brings us to a conclusion that is satisfying and not wholly predictable.
I am a huge fan of Matt Haig's writing and this is every bit as good as my two big favourites The Humans and The Radleys. I'm sure the forthcoming film will be marvellous but the excellent narration of this book by Mark Meadows will be a hard act to follow.

love it
This book is the fourth book I have read/listened to by Matt haig, the first one being reasons to stay alive.I have absolutely loved all four books and how to stop time is probably joint favorite with reasons to stay alive.I feel that Matt haig has an amazing ability to understand people and I feel that his stories and themes and his way of writing just show so much understanding and empathy, it is so easy to identify what what he says.I would recommend his books to anyone who is fascinated by people and the way in which the human mind works.

Plot does not live up to the concept
I enjoyed this book, but not as much as I thought I was going to.
The central idea of a man ageing 15 times more slowly than normal is a strong one. It generates some nice scenes, and some thoughtful passages on the perception of time and the appreciation of the passing of it.
However there is a "thriller" element to the plot that does not seem fully realised. It is not particularly tense and rather fizzles out towards the end.
Also, the writer makes the same philosophical point too many times and therefore lessens the impact.
The narrators performance is good, well suited to the tone of the book and he handles the various accents competently.
I would recommend this book, but with some reservations.

Loquacious
Would you try another book written by Matt Haig or narrated by Mark Meadows?
No
What will your next listen be?
A fast moving exciting adventure with humor and hopefully some uplifting pieces within the story
Any additional comments?
I have just been reading the reviews for “How to Stop Time” and wonder why I feel so out of step with the majority of the comments. A literary critic would, no doubt, rave about this book, but for me the overuse of similes and metaphors turned this book into a turgid navel gazing collection of time jumping vignettes, so much thinking and remembering, not a lot of doing i.e. finding his daughter.
I found Tom to be a pathetic character who had never grown up, for a man that has lived for over 400 years he appears to have stopped thinking for himself and learnt nothing from his experiences – every small bit of happiness overshadowed by grief/despair and “woe is me”. I would have expected an individual over this length of time to have grown and matured learning from the different experiences and people met over the years and yet he hasn’t - 400 years living in fear – what a waste of time!
I have come to the possible conclusion that this book should be read rather than listened to and would probably appeal to those who enjoy reading Non Fiction or Mindfulness and Wellness books; discovering the hidden meaning within! As you can no doubt ascertain from my comments, I didn’t empathise with Tom, I found the book to be self-indulgent and depressing and spent a lot of time shouting “Get on with it”.

A little glib, better as a young adult novel
Matt Haig's novel, soon to be a motion picture with Benedict Cumberbatch, has had rave reviews, yet I feel I'm in the minority in saying it fell short of expectations.
Following Tom Hazard, an unusual protagonist with a rare condition which has made him live for centuries, has been searching for his daughter ever since he was forced to leave her. Describing major events in history, Hazard continues to change his identity in order to survive becoming a history teacher as his current persona. All the while being controlled by the mysterious Hendricks. Is it better to live for a short while with love, or for eternity alone?
While the story is imaginative, the characters are underdeveloped and the constant time change is inconsistent. The plot may be a little too juvenile for me, not really to my taste. Enjoy the film.

Not for me
Sad to say I totally didn't get the fuss over this book- despite its huge celeb endorsements. Maybe it's just me but I found the main character kinda boring and the bit about Shakespeare made me lol a bit. I'm pleased that it's considered to be a success for the author as he comes across as a decent chap in his interest in the human condition (his other book). I think it might be that I need something a bit at a faster pace.

A marvellous ripping yarn
A colourful romp through history with a heart warming meaning of life type message. Ear candy for any history anoraks that enjoy the gritty detail of social historical references and a bringing to life of past eras. A gripping story is Matt Haigue’s vehicle for transporting us through many ages, particularly Elizabethan England. I couldn’t stop listening, the narrator was ok, I enjoyed his grasp of different accents that were woven throughout. A compulsory listen for history teachers I suppose.

Best book so far this year
I was a bit unsure whether this book was my cup of tea from reading the blurb but I am so glad that I got it as it was a truly excellent read. I was hooked from the start and have just ordered a hard copy for my mum! Brilliant storyline, concept and fabulous performance

Could have been better
I think the idea of this book had so much potential but somehow it felt lightweight. I found some of the language clumsy and it seemed to fall back on cliches rather than substance. I bit disappointing really

Must have read a different book
I think I am reading a different book to that which have been reviewed here. I have got to chapter 16 and I am losing the will to live - NOTHING is happening and it is just a series of vague memories of 'when I was in the age of Napoleon.... or witch hunts .....or....' I cannot go on with this - what a waste of a credit!! I have not been so bored by a book in a long time!!!

New favorite book
Read this in a day and wish it could have been 10x as long, I want to know so much more about Tom and all the Alba’s! It’s incredible to imagine the life they’ve all lived, and the author did a fantastic job of showing us the few glimpses the length of the book would allow.

Good build up but disappointing climax
The book is great but I feel like the climax wasn't that interesting. There was a lot of build up for all the things that may go wrong but in the end it was just one dude being a bit crazy and then everything being okay again

Interesting story line,
The story was interesting, however the character is somewhat depressing. Like other books by this author the story has so much potential and yet the character is miserable.

Loved it. Awesome!!!
I finished reading The Midnight Library which I absolutely loved. Started reading How to Stop Time but nearly stopped part way in. My advice is keep reading. I found it an awesome book with a lot of thought provoking writing. I am amazed at Matt Haig’s ability to draw you into an amazing story that you cannot stop listening to. Do yourself a favour and listen to or read these books. I am now listening to The Humans and can’t wait to get to the next and the next and the next. Thank you Matt Haig. I don’t normally write reviews btw. Please keep writing!!!

Life through the ages
Articulate & well written book, the narration was perfect. I did struggle with the loss & yearning throughout the story, but that’s my own personal preference. You can’t love without loss, this is life, this character had a very long life. Would have loved to hear more about the characters after, their lives after.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

At first, she's relieved for the break from her tumultuous marriage; perhaps Paul just needed some space. But when his car is found abandoned on the highway, Gray must face the truth: Paul is gone. And Gray may not want him found. Her life is unraveling. When a stranger named Annie calls claiming to know Paul's whereabouts, Gray reluctantly accepts her help.

Story
As a doctor, I walk a dangerously delicate balance of being compassionate but not overly invested. The same is true in my personal life - love is a luxury I can’t afford. It isn’t until Dr. Westin Grant breaks down all my walls and offers me a future, I find myself wondering if I’m brave enough to risk my heart. When who I was and who I’ve tried to become collide during my clinical trial, the fate of one patient changes everything.

Story
This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.
