The story of the guardian of time is not complicated, although there are three lines at the same time, but the plot of the three lines is clearly structured, and this time he used a style similar to the fantasy fable. Mickey was interested in making the book look more like a modern fable, just as he had mentioned in his book, "The Shepherd Boy's fantasy Journey." This simple language and story makes it easy for modern readers to start reading from any page without creating any threshold. When you finish reading the story, the story has just begun in your heart. This is the place where the book is not easy.

About Mitch Albom, if you read all of his five books like I did, he will find that even though his work is selling more than 90% of the world's authors, he still feels like a neighbor's big boy trying to tell you some gentle truths about life. So I used to call him Mickey Baby. That's just because my friend raised a very human nature of the pastoral dog named Mickey, we used to call it, Albom uncle embarrassed. Okay, no nonsense, let's talk about the three facts about baby Mickey.

Mickey Baby's first truth, he's simple. This is most evident in the book guardian of Time. His words are very simple, the simple here refers to concise simple clear meaning. So that his translator in the translation into Chinese, to constantly cut the translation to achieve the original kind of concise texture. "Time Guardian" story is not complicated, although there are three lines at the same time, but the plot of three lines are clear, and this time he used a similar to the fantasy fable style, I think even middle school students can read this story. Mickey was interested in making the book look more like a modern fable, just as he had mentioned in his book, "The Shepherd Boy's fantasy Journey." This simple language and story makes it easy for modern readers to start reading from any page without creating any threshold. When you finish reading the story, the story has just begun in your heart. This is the place where the book is not easy.

The second truth is a number. Mickey's books are always about numbers. From "Meet Tuesday" to "five people you met in Heaven", from "One Day Rebirth" to "a little faith", so that the upcoming new works, there are at least one number. Only this "time keeper" did not, because in this book, Mickey he put all the time numbers are zeroed. He made a very interesting point, the first person to realize the time, the first person to make a clock, is guilty. Time, like life, is the original sin. Because time is the only thing God can master, when humans try to master this power, there are three of stories in the book. Whether the first guardian of the clock, the girl who wants to end his life, or the terminally ill patient like Apple's father, Steve Jobs, they have a tragedy when they try to control time.

The third truth is that Mickey's "Time Keeper" seems to be writing about time, but not really. As "Tuesday" is not a terminal illness, "You met in Heaven five people" is not about death, "one day Rebirth" is not about suicide. Where did our time come from and where did our time go? Let us happy, let our life enrich and happy, let us always remember the time, what is it? Now you close your eyes and think, do you remember the time when you were with your parents? Have you ever thought of your first kiss with a lover? Have you ever thought of those unforgettable nights? Have you ever thought of your child, partner, friend, and all who love you? Have you ever been in love? What you recall is the time that really belongs to you. You have more money, so what? What if we could live again? Without love, it is still wasted. When we have finished this life, in the last moment to recall, must be how many people have loved, and not to serve the number of bosses. So the truth is, Mitch Albom all the stories about how to love.

And all of our time is about love.
