Fantastically gripping and moving. Matt Haig has a way with the written word that both informs and invokes emotion from his readers. How to stop time is no different. Following the story of Tom throughout his century long lives and the interesting perspective of seeing his past self alongside his current life was a thrilling and intriguing way to relate his story. This book is such a. Brilliant tale of life and humanity, and a beautiful read for absolutely anyone.
