Everyone has their own idea as to how the Earth was made and of what it is comprised. Given science and technological advancements, many of us would be quick to answer that the world is made by a collection of particles, atoms, molecules, and cells. Some, like Brent Williams, might argue that our world is made of something different – lines.

If you’re confused, don’t worry. I was too when I first started Line Theory by Brent Williams. However, he quickly explains his background and ideas. He was first introduced to this concept in college and feels that the world needs to hear it. Brent Williams says that Line Theory is exactly as it sounds in that it is the theory of lines. That said, it expands to the idea that our world is made of lines. For example, we, ourselves, are made of lines from our palms, to our anatomy to our connections. Brent Williams then goes into deeper explanations as to how this is all done.

If you’re still with me, I appreciate your steadfastness and you will probably be able to make it through this book rather quickly. I, on the other hand, had quite a bit of difficulty making it to the end. There were grammatical errors throughout, an overuse of semicolons, and improper or inconsistent formatting at times.

On top of this, the book was just over two-hundred pages. This would not necessarily be an issue, however, I felt that the author spent a great deal of time repeating himself. I was halfway through the book and asking myself what more the author could cover. He went in-depth into many nuances of life to show how lines governed everything we do.

Between the grammatical errors and ramblings, I was actually interested in the subject to a degree. The author shared how they first stumbled upon Line Theory and what got them focused on it. It reminded me of an odd mix of Adam Smith’s invisible hand, String Theory, and the Theory of Everything. That said, the author provided no resources for the information presented throughout the book. I looked further into the subject online and could not quite find what the author was discussing. As such, I was not sure if this is the author’s own hypothesis or a researched topic because I have little information.

Overall, provided the above information, I would give this book 2 out of 4 stars. I think the book has potential if changes were made, namely grammatical and reference-based. That said, at this time, I would not recommend this book to others unless you wish to read about someone’s interpretation of line theory for nearly two-hundred pages.

Great review! This is certainly a thought provoking book to read. However based on your review it seems like the author didn't have much content if he kept on repeating his points and rambling.

I believe the book certainly could have been covered in less pages, though the author did have a lot to say. That said, after he went through so much, I really didn't know where else he was going without references or more information to support his ideas. I think it may benefit him to shorten it.

It definitely was interesting! It seems to have delved into philosophy a bit more than science though, given the lack of resources. Given that, it would have been easier for the author to shorten the book and maybe try to support his ideas with research or other written works (resources).

Good review.it will be nice though to read someone's opinion or view of how the earth came to being.

The theory sounds fascinating, and your dissection of it being a mix of invisible hand, String Theory, and the Theory of Everything was kinda where my brain went when I saw the title, too. However, the lack of resources is really unfortunate, and it seems like reading 200 pages of repetitive information wouldn't be too much fun. Cheers to you for making it through the book when there were so many errors and oddities to it! Great review.

The book sounds quite intriguing. The errors in grammar are also quite too glaring to be ignored. I enjoyed your review, thank you!

This definitely sums up what I think about the book, after reading your review. I might be interested in reading this book if it were a bit more concise. Thanks for sharing this review!

I really believe this has potential and the idea was unique. But after so long, there are only so many ways you can reiterate that lines make up everything we do. If there was a chapter on research or other theories that relate to it, I think it would provide a much-needed variation.

I agree. I am always up for new ideas. In my mind, nothing is impossible. That said, I do like a little bit of research involved.

I really wish the author did more with it! This could be a mix of things, like how to go about testing it or what ideas support this rather than what felt like ramblings of the same statement.

[shannonkate8]

The book sounds quite intriguing. The errors in grammar are also quite too glaring to be ignored. I enjoyed your review, thank you!

At this point, I tend to expect errors in many books. That said, I feel that all books really should be reviewed by an editor before being published to limit them. Another review of the book would definitely be beneficial.

I can't agree more, the book definitely is in much need of professional editing.
