How to Stop Time was a philosophical and fascinating look at what is actually important in life, with a twist of romance. What happens when we have a lot more Time than the average human? What happens to love? 

That said, I loved it. Matt Haig's writing style feels lyrical and flowing, moving the reader along smoothly through his world and his story. The cast of characters are well developed, even when they take up very little of the story. 

It's philosophy crafted as story, with a sweet ending. The whole climax felt a bit rushed, and I still have so many questions -- What's the deal with Berlin? Why do we have to worry about Silicon Valley and Beijing? Who the heck was Hendrich, really? What happened in Sri Lanka? I do wish the book had been longer, which is not something I usually want. I would love to explore this world a little more!
