Review of Timewise
[Following is a volunteer review of "Timewise" by Robert Leet.]
Professor Regina Russo reaches out to Ron Larson one day. She joins him to play chess and gets to know about him during the game. Ron notices that after that meeting, Regina Russo seems to have taken a particular liking to him. After that meeting, she tried all that she could to ensure that he got an education. He cannot explain why she is bent on making sure that he passes his courses in school with flying grades. But he is not about to turn her down whenever she asks to meet him to hear her make her thoughts on already established scientific theories known. Fast-forward to a few years after he graduated college, a letter comes in the mail requesting that he meets with her one last time. The confession that she gives him rocks him to his knees and gets him wondering how deep he was willing to get with Russo and her plans. Narrating the whole story from his perspective, he tells readers of the choices and mistakes that he made in this time of his life.
Timewise, a book written by Robert Leet, seems to be a mini textbook on science masquerading as a fictional novel. While I can say that I did not expect this when I flipped open the first page of the book, I did not hate this fact a bit. There are a lot of speculations about what scientists of old had gotten wrong in postulated theories about quantum physics. These speculations try to explain time and how our universe reacts to it the way the characters.
Again, it opened my eyes to what mathematics can help us accomplish. Before reading Timewise I did not know that you could predict the future in the business world (especially in stocks trading) with mathematics. Such a tool would be one that Wall Street lovers will do anything to get their hands on – that is if it does not exist already.
I should say that Timewise is flawless in every way and I like every feature and point raised in this book. While this is true for me, my favorite of them all is the uniqueness of Robert Leet’s take on time traveling. I got a hint that the novel had a bit of a time-traveling element in it from the front cover and the title. I am glad to say that the form it took is very different from the way I imagined it – the way movies and other books have made us all imagine it. Everything that happened where time-traveling was involved had a scientific explanation for it. It was so beautiful to read about this unique take on it.
Four out of four stars is the rating that I have decided to award Timewise. Just like I would a textbook, I learned so much from this book. In addition to learning a lot of scientific tricks and theories, it also offered me a bit of entertainment. Ron’s love interests gave me the right dosage of romance that appealed to my romantic soul. His achievements kept me in awe of what we can achieve with science. Images were also used to explain scientific theories that characters talked about, thus helping me better understand what was being talked about. The exceptional editing also made flowing with the story very easy and devoid of unnecessary distractions.
Timewise should be read by only people that love, understand, or want to learn a bit about quantum physics. If you are looking for adventure, while you will get that here, you may also not be pleased with the drawn-out conversations about theories postulated by the likes of Isaac Newton.
