From reading the sample, I didn't catch onto any of the scientific parts in it. Perhaps it was later In the story, or I just didn't get it. Thank you for explaining what the whole book is like. I believe I will pass on it. Thank you for your review though.

Very well done review. I normally love a good sci-fi novel. However, this one seems very complex and includes a lot of hard to process ideas. I do enjoy the premise of the story though and still might give it a read in the future. The idea of creating a new theorem in quantum physics to predict future events is intriguing.

This story sounds amazing. I really commend the author for writing such a complex story. I generally enjoy science fiction and I loved math and physics in high school so I feel like I would enjoy this book. It's a shame that the concepts are too complicated and hard to understand though. I hope the author reviews it and breaks it down into simpler concepts in the near future as I'm sure that will really improve the book. Great and thorough review!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting science fiction novel focusing on the idea of quantum physics involving a professor and her student and their plan to attempt to use science to see in the future. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Quantum physics is not my strong suit, although the premise seems interesting. Still, I do think that a conclusion is important, and I hope that the author takes your suggestions into account. Thanks for the review.

I am a science student and I love physics too so it's not going to be jargons to me. This book is a very interesting and I believe I'll love it when I read it. Thanks for the honest review from your end.

It sounds like this book has much of the same problem that made me stop reading Asimov. Getting bogged down in details that are difficult for the reader to wrap their head around simply makes the book hard to read and alienates many readers. I read sci-fi to enjoy it, not to be taught mathematics, mechanics, or how technological marvels work. Yes, I occasionally enjoy deep reads, but that's more on the intellectual side of things than the 'technical' side. This one doesn't sound like it's for me. Thanks for the honest and thorough review!

It is a beautiful attempt by Robert Leet, the author of this book, to explain the complex concepts of quantum physics by interviewing it with fiction.

Good review. I’m not into science like that to read this so I’ll have to pass. But I’m sure those that are into it will love it.

A book that leaves us with more questions, I don't know how that would turn out for an over-thinker like me. I've never read Sci-fi, might just try this one. Thank you for the review

As much as I enjoy Sci-fi, I really don't fancy complicated storylines. The book sounds fascinating no doubt but I think it will really fry my brains out trying to put two and two together.

Based on your review, this is an 'intelligent' read. So though the plot is interesting I'm still not sure if I'll give this a try. Nice review though. Keep it up!

I've loved science. And being able to learn it and read an amazing story is just perfect. But I do have mixed feelings about this book since it's a bit incomplete. But I'll check it out anyway.

I appreciated the opportunity to read this book. Evidently, it is a captivating piece full of possibilities. The plot builds up slowly and in a steady pace grows in flow. Professor Regina is a force to reckon as she pivots Ron's decisions.

I'm a huge Crichton fan, so this type of novels usually catch my attention. I have always been fascinated by quantum theory, and this book seems to deliver scientific insights while immersing the reader into a thrilling narrative. Thanks for the review.
