Awareness creates time. That was one of the first things Regina Russo said to young Ron. Ron, a young man at the center of the narrative, has never experienced success in life. Since he was a young guy, he had resided in foster homes. Ron wasn't the brightest student in class, but after his first encounter with Regina and through her encouragement, he did enough to graduate. However, he couldn't go further with his studies, being that he is an orphan and couldn't afford to pay his way through the university. When Regina came into his life, he understood that his life was bound to change, for better or worse. Regina watched him grow and nurtured him until he became a man, promising to pay for his tuition and living expenses if he enrolled at a reputable school. Then he was exposed to a secret that she had kept from the rest of the world for so long. He could not believe his ears when he heard Regina had found the secret to traveling through time. What does she plan on doing with this particular discovery of hers? Was she going to take over the world? The next part of his journey became something he could have never imagined. Robert Leet takes us on this journey in this book.

This book seems to be a tiny science manual dressed up as a narrative. There are several explanations for why the proposed quantum physics assumptions of the past were untrue. With the aid of these theories, we can attempt to comprehend how time influences reality and how the characters react to it. Timewise is the autobiography of the protagonist of the book, Ron. Ron had a difficult upbringing, but having Regina in his life made a significant difference because she was his comfort. Furthermore, I value Louis' brief but profound impact on Ron's life. The book provides readers with a wealth of information about the world.

I appreciate how Robert Leet segmented it, as the story was progressive, unfolding Ron’s life in each chapter. At one point, I couldn’t tell if I was reading a drama, a thriller, or a sci-fi novel. The story had sections where it was dedicated to telling Ron's life, but towards the end, it adopted a thriller/sci-fi tone that capped it all. Timewise made me realize how much math can do for us. I was unaware that mathematics could be used to forecast the future in the business world, particularly in stock trading. I must confess that this book was brilliantly executed.

There is absolutely nothing to dislike about this book. I like the segmentation and the exceptional editing skill displayed. Robert Leet made sure every error was eliminated, making it a fun-filled experience for his readers. I enjoy the fact that the book doesn't have a definite identity, as it hovers along the lines of drama, thriller, and sci-fi and doesn't necessarily settle on any. But I would say the dramatic aspect of the novel is more prominent. The book did not only strive to educate its readers; the author also went as far as to include images and illustrations that would help stimulate the minds of readers. It is important to note that this book is perfect in every regard, and I appreciate every detail and point made in it. Every event involving time travel had a rational explanation based on science.

I recommend this book to young adults, science students, fans of science fiction, and anyone who loves drama novels. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I enjoy reading it. I like how the novel flows smoothly and has a well-crafted plot.
