I was initially inclined to give it 2 stars, but the fact that it was fast-paced and the timeline of the story was almost the author's entire life made it an interesting and engaging read.
The fact that the author is a structural engineer and not a physicist left me awe struck.
What bothered me was that a tiny part of the story was dedicated to the author's relationship with Sheila. There was no satisfactory explanation of why they fell in love or why they broke up so abruptly.
I guess the author tried to focus on the scientific explanations but to create a wholesome book, other aspects of the story need to be given equal importance.

The story and the plot are good, the point is that those who have some idea of quantum physics enjoy it more than those who do not.
So I comprehended it and enjoyed the development and explanation. But if you don't have notions in that field of physics, you end up lost and with a rather interesting headache.
This reduces the dynamics of reading and can lead to abandonment of the book. Which is a shame looking at their content development.
It may sound harsh and cruel to the author Robert Leet. Noticing more if we see the love and effort that permeate this work. I must say in my defense that I am trying to be pragmatic and objective.
The book has potential and remain a genuinely attractive option in terms of time travel themed novels. However, these details make it less attractive to a public not so immersed in the genre of science fiction or realistic fantasy.
This can be daunting for new readers to the topic or younger readers doing their first readings. And nobody wants that with how difficult it is to hook new readers in general.
I as a reader would give it 3 out of 4 stars. But when it comes to recommending it, unfortunately I can't give it more than 2 out of 4 stars.

On the downside, I found the incorporation of scientific theories a little too much for general readers. A few incidences in the book are impractical and amateurish. The upshot of the chronicle was not too clear or probable. As the author mentioned, this is his first venture in writing a novel. Maybe that explains all the ineptness. I hope in the coming novels he will overcome these pitfalls and produce even better works.
