Ever wondered what it would be like to time travel? Tom Hazard is the main character who does just that owing to a rare condition. He’s been alive for centuries and has met the likes of Shakespeare, has sailed the high seas with Captain Cook and more besides. But adventures aside, he wants some stability and so moves back to London . However, he has the ability to keep travelling and keep moving so that only few people have and so there are rules to abide by - he must not stay in one place for too long and the main rule? Not to fall in love.

This book made me think about a lot of things - when to move on and look forward or risk staying in the past. When to start really living, when to start, well being human and living life rather than just being an observer. The book is choc full of emotion and then some. I have to say that I really really was drawn to the travelling like he is at first. Imagine drinking a cocktail with Fitzgerald for example!

This book however looks at more than that - it’s what you are as a human, who you choose to be and how you choose to live your life. And you only have one so you’d better start living it.
