Review of Timewise
[Following is a volunteer review of "Timewise" by Robert Leet.]
Ron meets Russo Regina. This is a woman who he would later say was highly instrumental to his growth in life and his invention. The first time he met her, he was just a young orphan who could care less about school and grades. He confesses that he strived to do better because he hoped to impress her when he learned that she was to teach at his middle school. Little did he know that years later, she would give him the gift of working on a type of machine that many scientists and inventors have touched only in their dreams. However, how prepared is he for all the troubles that being involved with her and her project would bring him? Will this affect his newfound fame, success, and love?
Timewise by Robert Leet is a book that is buried deep in the science fiction genre shelf. I say fiction because some strides achieved in this book have not been achieved in our world, yet. And also because of the obvious fact that the story is not based on the real occurrence or life of any person. Despite that, it gave me great insight into the world of science and scientific theories.
There were parts of the story that I found dull. Shortly after Ron graduated from high school, he took a regular job and lived his time out cooped up in his room. Nothing exciting happened between that time and when Regina Russo showed up in his life for the umpteenth time. I was not overly excited about those scenes. I dare say that I found it boring. That is the thing I liked least about Timewise.
Apart from the ‘boring’ scenes, which to be honest did not go on for many pages, I should say that I loved the rest of the book. I loved the thrill of the chase by the FBI agents and how Regina handled them. I liked the subtle humor that accompanied Regina's words and actions and some other characters. Above all, I loved how poetic the words of some characters sounded. There are a lot of quotes in the text that describe life, science, expectations, and the universe. These (philological) quotes did not stick out like sore thumbs announcing themselves for what they are. Instead, they were blended quite perfectly with other mundane words or statements made by characters. They gave the story a poetic feel which is what I liked most in it.
I think that readers who are strongly in love with physics and how the universe works will like Timewise. I use the word ‘strongly’ because Regina talked extensively and in great detail about theories in physics that have something to do with time. After all, she made her desire to understand time known from the very first day she met Ron – which is in the first chapter. So, regular science fiction lovers may get lost in the many scientific conversations had by Ron and Regina.
I will give Timewise a rating of four out of four stars because I enjoyed reading this book. I have always fancied the idea of traveling through time and I have also wondered about the consequences. Timewise inspires and engages my mind, to a large extent, on both issues. It was also interesting to read as far as I am concerned. Timewise was lacking in errors and it was edited exceptionally. I pray that Robert Leet writes a sequel to this book
