The title is a little bit misleading. One might think the book has to do with time travel or how people managed their time. reading the book, we find out it's quite different although, With the title, you would still Know the genre of the book either way. So I think the title is appropriate enough

For a book concerned with time travel, I think this is a perfect title. The title doesn't revel much and yet it isn't devoid of the time factor. I think the title is catchy and just right.

I think the title is a good choice. It's short, intriguing, doesn't reveal anything, and leaves the reader curious as to what it refers to in the story.

Personally, I'd say the title is just right. But I also think it's pretty subjective. Depends on someone else's opinion.

I believe the title is fitting for the premise of the book. The author chose not to add to much to it like others have. I would have picked up this book based on the title and the cover art alone.

I love the title actually! I believe it is really creative. One quotation that pervades the novel is "awareness creates time." So, the title Timewise is very apt to this central notion discussed at length by Regina. It is also relevant to the fact that Regina builds a time machine; so she is in fact very 'timewise'. In my opinion, the title is well suited to the content of the book.

I think it is appropriate since it is about time and also about becoming wiser about it I guess. So in this instance, it is suitable. I also feel interested to read more because of that

I believe the title to be appropriate. It raises questions in ones mind and it's also catches attention. Immediately after getting your attention, any reader will want to start reading to find out more. "Timewise" is just right.

Timewise is an ideal title. I leaves the reader with an idea of what the book may entail but does not reveal too much.

Yes time wise to entice the readers title named as such. But it highly mirrors the wiseness of the author thoroughly surprisingly.

I think the title is very good, it is very catchy and captures well the essence of the book. It is about time travel, the main character learns about time through science. So "Timewise" is perfect according to me!

The title is just right to me. It doesn't reveal too much about the book yet piques your interest. There are a lot of good books out whose titles are just as vague, so I do not think it's really a problem here.

“Timewise” was the perfect title for this book, I think the author did a great job picking out the title and the cover art compliments it as well, and also the title isn’t revealing the storyline or giving anything away which I love because with book titles sometimes you can guess what the book is about which kind of detracts from the overall fun of reading the book so I commend the author for using the title he chose.

I like the way the title leaves me guessing what the book is actually about, my assumption was that it could be a way of saying time will tell and indeed judging from the relationship between Regina and Ron, it actually fits in. May not necessarily pass for a perfect title but it's sure near perfect.

The cover art also portrayed the scientific concept of time. But after reading the book, I believe the author could have chosen a different title to entice the reader. Ron is on a journey to find out who he is and what he is capable of doing. Did you find Timewise to be appropriate, or do you have other suggestions for a better title?
Well, actually I have mixed feelings about this. Just at the sight of the title, I thought the same as you, that it portrays a kind of scientific concept. But in a way, I think the title is suitable for its content and also it is highly capable of draging readers' attention to the book. :eusa-think:
