This was a quick and okay read. The concept behind this was interesting. I enjoyed the story of how Father Time was created. The majority of the book follows two people: an old wealthy man with cancer who is trying to figure out how to be immortal and a young girl with a crush that's not returned who wants to die. Father Time is sent to the present time to help both them and himself.
This is a very straight-forward and easy read. There are a lot underlying messages about how society is structured around time and how much that has changed things. Additionally, there is a lot of discussion about how people view that time and what they do with it.
I personally thought the story was heavy handed, especially towards the end. When you find out why this old man and young girl are so important it was just too much. I actually rolled my eyes; I mean come on...you can't get much more predictable than that.
Overall this was an okay read. It's an easy and quick read but I didn't find the ideas explored here to be all that new or exciting. I did like the history of Father Time. The story ended up being a bit too heavy handed and predictable for me. In the end, for me, it was a fairly forgettable read.
