Timewise by Robert Leet - An extraordinary product for the author's first book. The first person narrative reads very well, the plot is ingenious and the characters are exceptional. The discussions of quantum physics as we know it today and the ideas for a different perception are fascinating. Thanks for the review.

Scientific thinking doesn't come easy to me, so although I like the premise of the book I'm not sure if I'll end up, as you say, feeling like my brain might explode.
And I hate unsatisfactory endings! Even if the author planned for a sequel, there's a proper way to build a cliffhanger that gives you just enough information not to end up feeling frustrated.
But you made an awesome and honest review. Thank you!

Quantum physics! I think this will be a difficult and 'put in all attention' read, I hope I get the hang of it if I read it.

A fascinating sci-fi that includes some interesting quantum physics concepts. The author does a fairly good job of explaining the concepts to the reader in simpler terms and allegories. Sounds like a treat for sci-fi fans. Thanks for a concise review.

Books that leave me hanging are a major turn-off but then again Physics is definitely my cup of tea. I cannot decide whether I would enjoy this book or not but right now I'm leaning more on the pro side. Thank you for the review.

I'd be interested in the elements of quantum physics and the relationship between Ron and Regina, but I'm not so sure the depth of the scientific explanations would not get tiresome and the open ending would not leave too many unanswered questions. Thanks for your review!

I enjoy sci-fi books from time to time, especially the concept of time-travel. However, I like to relax and become part of the lives of the characters. This book seems too scientific for my taste.

Thanks for the honest review. This sounds like it could be an interesting book if it weren't for science's depth in it. I like science, but I'm not that fond of physics. However, time travel has always been interesting to me. I may give this one a try.

My perception. Of the novel based on the title, I illustration on the cover,free sample and official review was very accurate. This book will have an exceptional level of appeal to the scientifically oriented mind as well as individuals whose mind is captivated with the realms of space and time.

Well, time travel stories are really fascinating but reading a book with physics theories makes me scared of it. Anyway thank you for such an amazing review.

I rarely read sci-fi, and this one seems particularly scientific, so I don't believe it's for me. Perhaps those who are sci-fi enthusiasts and who enjoy the harder aspects of science will enjoy this one.
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

I have not read a book by an author that is a structural engineer. Science fiction books usually are written by people who have an interest in science, but not a degree in the field. It is refreshing to see a person with a degree in science write about such complex topics, but the issues that you outlined need to be corrected.
