Review by MajestyBooky -- Timewise by Robert Leet
[Following is a volunteer review of "Timewise" by Robert Leet.]
Reading Timewise by Robert Leet took me back to my physics lessons back in high school. I wish I could say that I had an easy time following the theories, unfortunately, that was not the case. With that in mind, my only recourse was to rely heavily on the plot to get some much-needed enjoyment. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered the poorly developed storyline. The majority of the story revolved around scientific theories involving time, posed as discussions between Ron Larson and Professor Regina Russo.
The story is about Ron Larson, his discovery of his love for mathematics and physics. Having had an interest in chess and poker, transitioning to studying wasn't a problem. The problem was the idea of wasting his time studying while he could be hustling his way to Vegas. It was Russo who took him from this path and into school, by offering to pay the entirety of his fees. The two have an instantaneous connection. He fancies himself half in love with her while she seems oblivious to his existence outside their scheduled meetings.
What appealed to me the most was the author's delivery. His language is smooth but contains deep, meaningful undertones. The way the phrases are joined together is a work of art. It's the kind of book you read with a highlighter ready because many of the phrases you encounter you won't want to forget.
For avid readers of science-fiction, there is a bit of time-travel in the story. Towards the end of the book, there was an unveiling of secrets and a hasty ending that left a lot of angles unexplored fully. For instance, one of the (key) characters being transgender should have been explored more, just so we could understand their frustrations and expectations from those around them. I thought the author either missed an opportunity with this or added this detail as an afterthought.
All in all, the story had a lot of promise. I wish the author had built up the story and the characters to expectations. I rate the book at 3 out of 4 stars because of this. I found no errors, which would mean the book was edited professionally, as well as the use of profanities and some minor sexual content. An audience of above eighteen is, therefore, advisable.
This book would appeal to readers who love and understand physics. I would be remiss if I failed to mention how well-packed with science the book was. I recommend it to students taking physics, mathematics, or those interested in quantum physics. There is so much to learn, whether you agree or disagree with the raised points.
