The two parts of this book that jumped out at me were the descriptions of the various nature scenes the main character encountered. I used to love staying out in the forest, all by myself, when I was younger and just watching nature come to life.

The other part was the comment the main character made about watching your feet while walking. He indicated that a person should look all around and see everything. That reminded me of when I used to drive an eighteen wheeler cross country. My trainer always told me to "give love to both mirrors", and "to keep my head bobbing around like a turkey," so that I always knew where the danger was coming from.

This was a strange book for me, but there were certain parts of it that I really enjoyed.

Maybe the book was targeted to engineers, being that it was written by an engineer.

I agree with you on what you said about taking breaks from reading to refresh the brain. I truly understand it, because I do it likewise, if I start losing concentration on what I'm doing. Good review.
WE BELIEVE IN EXCELLENCE.

Thanks for the insightful review! I am not a sci-fi fan, and I don't understand science either! I believe I would have trouble understanding much of this book. When I do read sci-fi I like for it to be a bit whimsical! That way I don't have to work my brain as hard to understand what is going on! :lol: This book does not sound like a light-hearted read! Great job on the review!

I agree that this book stretches the mind with all the scientific information the author incorporates into the story. The relationships seemed to be a contrast for the heavy science. Will there be a sequel?? Only time will tell!

Yes, I don't mind "a few unanswered questions" and am "willing to exercise (my) mind a little" and I have enjoyed the book immensely. I am writing a review of the book myself.
And, yes, there will probably be a sequel, as Leet is presently working on another novel (at least I hope it is the sequel).
I understand your objections, I am not a specialist in quantum physics (more of a fan I would say), and I did have breaks in reading, which I attributed to other jobs needing to be done, but now that you mention it, it must have been the heavy-duty theory that was being passed on to us.
Thank you for the review, I enjoyed reading it.

Time wise is a Sci-Fi Novel book of many fascinating plots and questions, as seeing into the future, predicting financial exchanges. The story went on further about Ron Larsen who is a wandering student encouraged to pursue a college degree by daring and radical physics professor Regina Russo.

The scientific side of the book bore many fascination. There were many concepts that where not familiar with a lot of science.

Thanks to the Author

I like the idea of reading a sci-fi book infused with the subject of quantum physics. Nice review.

I started reading this book and had to give up in halfway through the story because it was so slow and difficult to understand. The author has filled chapter after chapter with scientific theories which not only makes the book difficult to understand but boring for non-science readers. I'm sorry but the book is not for me. Thank you for the review.

A sci-fi with intriguing concepts and a focus in relationships seems to be both complex and interesting.

Thank you for the great review.

This plot sounds very captivating to me. However, I'm not sure if I want to engage with something that might be hard to understand, with many questions left unanswered. Thank you for your honest review.

It is not easy to combine fiction with a topic as difficult as quantum physics. However, I find quantum physics very interesting (although I'm far from understanding it) so I'd probably give this book a try.

Thank you for the review! Although I am fascinated by quantum physics and how they are applied to the story, your review has made me less than enthusiastic about this book. On the other hand, I "don’t mind a few unanswered questions and are willing to exercise my mind a little," so perhaps I "will enjoy it, too." I hate math, and I am not really into romance; therefore, those aspects may deter me from reading this book. I'll read the sample and see if it captures my attention before i spend money on the whole book.
