When I first came across the book, I thought it was addressing how time affected our daily lives. The cover art also portrayed the scientific concept of time. But after reading the book, I believe the author could have chosen a different title to entice the reader. Ron is on a journey to find out who he is and what he is capable of doing. Did you find Timewise to be appropriate, or do you have other suggestions for a better title?

I think the title is just right. It's catchy and unrevealing. If anything had to change, perhaps add a word or phrase to it, but Timewise is close to perfect.

I think the title sounds appealing enough and since the story is about time travel through physics, i would say it's the perfect title

I agree with the unrevealing aspect of it. Before I could start reading the book, I had a couple of assumptions on what it was about. I believe that is part of the reason I chose to read the sample and finally the entire book.

The connection of the title to the physics topics on time that are addressed is a good approach from the author. In addition, I think it was clever not to give up so much to the reader through the title. The only part of science revealed is ‘science fiction’ which is depicted by the book cover artwork.

I actually really like the title! I think the cover page and the title make for an intriguing combination. In my personal opinion, having time in the title is fitting because of the focus on the theory of time.

Oh, that's debatable. When I first read the title, I thought it was going to be about the main character gaining knowledge about time and how that was going to change them and their perspective. When I finished reading the book, though, I don't think that was its objective? That objective ended with Regina, and Ron continued his life without her and their project. The title is catchy and fits a little, but it could get better.

Well the book is similar in some aspects with the movie 'Interstellar'. And the title also gives the same vibes. Does not reveal much but at the same time, stimulates thinking about the depth of topic, you don't even have an idea about.

I think the title is pretty fitting. I have to agree with the above commenters: I like its unrevealing quality and the fact that it still hints at the main theme of the book. I wouldn't change it.

I think the title is perfect. It leaves a lot to the imagination. When I first saw the title, I couldn't help but wonder what the book is about.

I actually love short and catchy titles. For a book that talks about time, 'Timewise' is a good title. Anything more might have been too much. My opinion though.

I thought it was a perfect title. One of the main science ideas was about time and how it affects us, but isn't "real". Ron spent quite a bit of time learning about time as well, therefore becoming "timewise."

I also agree that the unrevealing aspect is what encouraged me to keep turning pages. At first I had an assumption that Robert would focus on time and expound on it as the story unfolded. But that wasn't the case. The tale flows smoothly with other events without deviating from the main theme of time.

I haven't watched 'Interstellar,' but I took a look at the trailer. You can compare it with Robert's book because of the central theme of how time affects events both on human beings and nature. For instance, Ron had to take time learning how to be responsible and skillful, and at the same time, he coincidentally meets the right people to steer him to his goals.

If you were to also think of the title you will realize that it is made up of two words (time and wise). Ron needs time to learn and discover himself. It is after a while that he becomes wise and makes life changing decisions.

I agree that the title is unrevealing. As I like for covers/titles to reveal a hint of what the book will be about, it seems apt. What I like most, though, is that it can be interpreted in different ways depending on who sees it and what their background is! I, for instance, immediately associated it with sci-fi. Others, however, seem to have connected it to physics theory. It's all in the perspective. I think the author did well in choosing it.
