The Ties That Bind is a metaphysical exposition of nonfiction. The author takes great care in weaving the defining characteristics of each subject matter into his writing. It is not only an element crafted to breathe new life into each principal notion but a method compelling one to feel that each line was drawn from a fresh perspective and solely meant for contemplation. Such actuation creates a more appetible source of information any reader can draw from and verily strengthens the conveyance of his thoughts and ideas in a more existential sense. This infusion method is unique and geared toward enhancing the relationship between the author and the reader on a more personal level.

T.C. Monk grapples with a collection of concepts most humans are not only familiar with but also those they continue struggling to gain a more limpid understanding of their complex meanings. The author's topics are very intriguing and evoke a keen interest from the first line. His erudite diction and word selection are designed with a poetic flow that masterfully draws the reader in and holds their attention. In addition to the intrigue Monk creates, the eloquence of his writing style is indeed sophisticated. It immediately challenges the reader to become meditative and reflective. This is magnified by how he presents purposeful questions to the reader, forcing them to query their opinions while considering the proposed arguments and rhetorical questions woven within the text.
