Timewise by Robert Leet is a captivating exploration of consciousness, time, and the transformative journey of Ron Larsen, the main character. The narrative commences with Ron as an orphan seeking purpose and direction. Regina, a teacher and physicist, becomes his mentor, guiding him to discover his aptitude for mathematics. Despite Ron's initial reluctance, Regina's perseverance motivates him to pursue education, marking the beginning of an extraordinary tale.

Regina emerges as a standout character, embodying resilience and empowerment. Her influence not only motivates Ron but also encourages him to define his own goals. The narrative is skillfully crafted, unfolding in a conversational style that adds to the book's charm. The incorporation of physics topics, such as force, gravity, and quantum physics, lends depth to the storytelling. While the book maintains a realistic tone, the concept of a time machine introduces an element of speculative fiction. The integration of science is commendable, providing detailed discussions that, at times, make the book feel more like a physics textbook than fiction.

One of the things I loved most about this book was the character development. It was superb. Particularly in the genuine portrayal of Ron and Regina. Ron's sincerity and self-awareness make him a relatable protagonist, and his gradual immersion into the world of science is artfully depicted. Regina's love for physics and her impactful conversations add richness to the narrative.
Despite the book's strengths, some readers may find the extensive focus on science to be overwhelming, likening the experience to reviewing material for an exam. This serious tone, coupled with the absence of a table of contents or chapter titles, could make navigation challenging for some readers.

In summary, this book earns a solid rating of 4 out of 5 stars. The deductive factor includes the occasional monotony induced by the heavy focus on science, which might limit its broader appeal. However, the book's expert editing and absence of grammatical errors contribute to its overall quality. This book was expertly edited by the author. Recommended for science enthusiasts, professors, and students seeking a unique blend of science and fiction, albeit with a mature audience in mind.

Timewise talks about Ron and Rose. Ron was picked from the street while playing the board games and his intelligence were harnessed by Rose and they began working on a high tech risk project. Nice review anyway?!

Timewise by Robert Leet is a captivating science fiction book. However, as a reader with not so much of a scientific background it wasnt very easy grasping some sections of this book. I very much agree with your rating. Good Job.
