Any book that has “quantum physics” at its core would undoubtedly challenge many readers with the presence of occasionally incomprehensible bits of scientific jargon. That being said, my curiosity is thoroughly piqued by such a premise! Thank you for your review.

Science isn't my strong suit, and quantum physics scares me. But I was able to survive the sample, so I am willing to venture some more into the story. I've added to my sparse knowledge of chess, poker, and plants so far. So far, so good.

I always enjoy science-driven stories, but I detest plot holes and cliffhanger endings. Thanks for your analysis of this book.

This book is giving me 'Interstellar' vibes. Interesting but instead of satisfaction it makes you more unsettled and wanting answers of a million questions bof your own. Will definitely read it. The review was fantastic. Every bit of detail was outlined very well.

All this deep physics and too much science, is not for me. Am glad you pointed out that the book only gives you more questions than answers, so I'll pass. Although the terminologies are quite complex, I must say it can make a great movie. That way, we can easily understand time-travel and its necessity.

Hmmm although it sounds like an interesting topic, I don't feel like I want to fight for the understanding of the book. I do believe it will be a great read for all those that already have some understanding of the concepts behind the main narrative. Thank you so much for the honest and insightful review! Happy reading :techie-studyinggray:

I love a good sci-fi book. I also like time travel stories and add in historical fiction, the plot would be interesting. However, I read to relax. Not to get my brain confused by complex physics mentioned in this review. I think the idea is a great one but it seems the concept isn’t clearly written and the ending left the reviewer unsatisfied. Probably not one I’ll read just yet.

'Official Review: Timewise' by Robert Leet is a clear description of the engaging story of science fiction! The important points related to the book have been focussed on in the review! The reviewer excels in exploring the issues the book raises! I appreciate the issue of a layman trying to understand the math and physics jargon brought to the knowledge of the readers in the review! The review is critical and constructive feedback on the story!

I am delighted that the author explained some of the scientific jargon in simple terms that a layman could understand. Thanks for the informative review.

Thanks for your detailed review. Sci-fi is my favorite genre, but I really dislike books with loose ends and plot holes.

I've never been a physics enthusiast but this book seems pretty good. I like such stories which require a lot of thought processing. Will be adding this to my bookshelf. Thanks for the well written review. :techie-studyingbrown:

The plot of the story seems very intriguing but the amount of science and maths involved makes me apprehensive to take up this book. I think I will pass on this book this time. Thanks for the review!

I've read the sample of this book and needless to say, it hooked me in. I agree that bouncing from one relationship to another might dampen my interest in the story. However, I am intrigued by what Regina could possibly have in store for Ron.

There is a possibility that you found the book incomplete because you couldn't fathom the logic because of all the science that you couldn't understand. I love science. It adds sense into life. I would love to have me some science. Some of the concepts may create a premise to some real life technology that can improve the way we communicate and travel. Kudos to the author.
