Review of Timewise
Timewise by Robert Leet is the story that follows the life of Ron, the protagonist of the book, from when he was young until he became a man. My version has 246 pages.
The narrator Ron was an orphan who had been kicked out of many foster homes, and as a result, his early memory was a little jumbled. He had lived with many different families and in many different foster homes, and as a result, no one paid much attention to him. Learning how to play chess gave his life structure, and he started making side bets on it at some point to make some money. When he was fourteen, he met Regina, a woman in her thirties who was a physics lecturer; she always helped him, gave him advice, and even helped develop his interest in physics. Ron finished high school, but since he knew he wouldn't have the funds to go to college, he cut ties with Regina by leaving the town. What became of Ron? Did he meet Regina later in life? Or did he become a successful chess player later in life? Read this book to find out more.
I love the character development of the characters in this book, especially that of Ron and Regina. Ron is a great character, and I love how he is true to himself and sincere. He stated he didn't like his housemate Tom, and he stated why he didn't. I like how he didn't pretend to like him or hate himself for not being a university student. One of the profound lessons I learned from this book is that "awareness creates time" and that "magic is understanding that we’re much faster than we can know because we’re part of all of this." The book also contains black-and-white photographs of light while the science of light and waves is being described. I also love how Ron's love for science gradually developed until he was completely immersed in it.
I like the character Regina a lot. I loved how she loved physics and how she incorporated advice into her conversations. Many conversations lack meaning, but having a conversation with someone like Regina will surely leave one feeling impacted. Regina is a character that genuinely wants the best for Ron, and she empowers him. I also liked the first encounter between Ron and Cheryl Liona. It was realistic because not everyone becomes friends the first time they meet. I particularly enjoyed Ron and Cheryl Liona's first meeting. Because hardly everyone makes friends right away, it was realistic. I like how nicely their romance progressed and came to an end. This book's integration of science is fantastic. One amusing instance was when Ron tried to use physics to describe his feelings for Regina. I found that funny as well. I also liked the warm character of Mrs. Gretchen, which she gave Ron, who had never met his parents, with grandmotherly affection and tenderness.
The only thing I noticed about the book is that it doesn't have a table of contents, nor does it have a title for each chapter, and this made it hard to know the number of chapters the book contained before reading it. Apart from the reasons I stated above, which are not enough to deduct a star, there's nothing else I dislike about this book, so I rate it five out of five stars. It is exceptionally well edited, and I found no errors while reading it.
I recommend it to readers who love science and a mixture of science and romance; however, I also recommend it to mature readers because it contains sexual scenes that are not too graphic. People who love physics will appreciate this book a lot.

I would really love to know what happen to Regina
And it will be pleasant if Ron actually made a living through playing chess
