The memoir by Dennis D. Gagnon follows a young man's life as he unveils the party line theory. It's set in both the mundane and the aethereal realms. The author discovers the aethereal realm through meditation, and he constantly visits it. His childhood friend D. unknowing visits the aethereal realm too, and he is one day killed by a monster haunting the young man. The young man seeks the help of the Resident Teacher.

D.'s ghost, which is kept alive by those with memories of him, the young man, and Percy, D.'s girlfriend, work hand in hand to avenge D.'s death. Will they emerge triumphantly? Will Resident Teacher give them the help they need? Will Percy be helpful enough in acquiring revenge?

I love so many aspects of the book, including the following. The author provides a reader's guide that involves asking questions. These questions are found in the reader's focus on pages 249 to 251. They enable the reader to reflect on what they have been reading. I was able to answer most of the questions, and the most interesting question to me was the question about suffering.
Human suffering is explained in the book, and I am intrigued by how the author explains it. I compared his explanation to the current human suffering and termed it meaningless, just like the author. Humans suffer, but the endpoint for everyone is deathly. I asked myself several questions about God and if he is all-knowing and capable of stopping suffering.

Additionally, I loved the tribute theory presented on page 115 of the book, and it's a very realistic theory used by many tribes around the world. My culture upholds this theory, and I was surprised that the author engraved this theory and several other theories in his book, which made it more interesting. The views are majorly scientific but presented in a manner that anyone focused will be able to understand.

There is nothing I disliked about the book "The Party Line," and I expect another part since the epilogue symbolizes that there will be another part. I, therefore, rate it 4 out of 4 stars since I loved the narrative used by the author and the author's understanding of life, God, and suffering. The book seems to be professionally edited since I did not encounter any typos. I recommend this book to lovers of memoirs and science fiction since there are many scientific theories in the book.
