The title was unique enough to get my attention and vague enough to lead to interesting assumptions. I think it works.

Yes and No. Yes, it shows that if you wisely use your time like Cheryl, you will achieve what you want. If you take what you have for granted, as time passes, you keep at the disadvantageous side of your own story like Ron. That is to say, the actor of the movie died at the end of, or during the course of, the story, without achieving his ambition. No, when I saw the cover, I thought, the story maybe about time travel or a scientific expedition, which was not the case.It is a 50/50 for me.

Yes, the title “Timewise” is appropriate to the theme based on Science (physics) background. It implies the scientific concept of time. Of course, the sci-fi turn to the story is the art of the novel writer’s concepts.

I believe the title is appealing and captivating enough, it draws one to the book. 'Time' is always such an intriguing word, and so the title has so many different interpretations. It is a befitting title in my opinion.

I found the title and the cover art to be perfect for the book. I think the cover was intriguing and it definitely had a sci-fi feel. I think the title is appropriate because of the focus on trying to understand time in a different way than we know it.

It is good but it could be a three word sentence cold be perfect. I mean it is too short and doesn't explain more about what is inside the book.

Timewise is definitely not an appropriate title. It did not go well with the plot which was also confusing. The main character is Ron, yet, there is also a focus on Regina and her time machine. Perhaps, there can be two plots in one(if this is possible). But, I do not see the likelihood. 'Timewise' would have been a better title if the main character and focus was on Regina and her time machine.

I don't believe this was the best title. I agree with you. I found the ending of the book a bit disappointing, given all the emphasis that was made, throughout the story, in time and the possibility of time travelling. However, it was just about, spoiler, money and economics. They found a great discovery, but they couldn't push it forward within the rules of the world. Also, there is not a real character development in Ron. So I don't think he is time wise. I think maybe another title or to go more in depth with this would have been better.

I don't know. Personally, I actually liked the title. It sounds catchy and science-y. It doesn't reveal quite as much about what the book is actually about but I find that book titles rarely ever mean what one thinks it means.

Timewise is the perfect title because it instigates suspense since a reader cannot easily decipher what exactly such title stands for.

The title seemed befitting to me. The resonating mantra was "awareness creates time." Again Ron could study and evaluate future stocks using the time machine. I totally found the title quite intriguing

I think the title is a good fit for the book because I found the book to mostly focus on the science of time. It could be more catchy and appealing, I think, but I can't think of a specific suggestion.

Timewise is just on point, considering the book is mostly about changing past actions, whether or not we would consider the option.

I thought the book was about time travel and how it happens when I first saw it. Also the cover had the same feel it gave off. So I was really disappointed to realize the book was more of a fiction than how to achieve time travel. So I wouldn't call the title appropriate
