*THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN, Matt Haig's new novel from the world of The Midnight Library, is out now*

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?

Nice story but quite longish and repetitive. The structure of the book, going from present to past may have been a good way to support the main character’s state of mind, drowning in the past, but ends up adding heaviness to plot developments. Finally it’s a short and simple story made long. From the same author, the « Midnight Library » was more appealing to me.

Nice holiday book

Like the author and his works. The Humans is my favourite but this one is also worth the time. Narration was impeccable !

Good read

What an inspirational book! It made me reconsider the notion of time, past and future and centre myself in this moment. So easy to listen, so profound and yet lighthearted and fun. I listen to an average of two books per week, some quite forgettable and a few rather interesting. “How to Stop Time” however, will stay with me for a very long time. Absolutely brilliant!!

I really enjoyed the story. I would have liked more on the albatross society. The narrator has a soft and likable voice.

the philosophical turn of events
