In this book Hector, the psychiatrist goes off in search of an old monk he knows in order to help him understand the meaning of time. Along the way he relates some lessons he's learned. Some, which come from his patients are so funny that I laughed out loud. Patient Hubert is especially interesting in that he measures time according to how many dog's lives he has left.

If you've ever thought about getting older or the meaning of time this little gem of a book is for you. It's amusing, entertaining and profound at the same time. Many of Hector's lessons and time exercises are thought provoking and shouldn't be missed.

This is a nice, quick read. Our hero, Hector, is a psychiatrist who goes on a journey to unravel the mysteries of time. Why does time go slowly for some people and quicker for others? Why do some people want to grow up quickly, while others are happy at the age they are? How do you look at the past, present and future?

The book is simply written yet touches on many aspects – including science, philosophy, religion and poetry. As Hector progresses he makes notes of “time exercises” to complete – some of which are quite thought-provoking. However the book does seem quite repetitive in parts, and ironically I kept checking my kindle for how long I had left of the book to read!

The thing about the Hector series is I am completely in love with them. However, I couldn't read this book because like the other two books it begins exactly the same way and to be perfectly honest it creates a boring read.

I know as a fan this brief backstory of Hector doesn't last long but it last long enough for me to put the book down.

I do however plan on reading this book just not at the moment when I am finish fangirling over Hector and the Secrets of Love.
