[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Are you looking for some sort of adventure like New Zealand, Japan, Thailand or Safari? If you love travel adventure, grab this book and maneuver together with Sam, Eytan, Alec and Daniel. Man Mission is a travel memoir by Eytan Uliel, an epic journey of four colleagues who traveled different places for a decade and a half.
Eytan and Sam became friends out of camaraderie, while Eytan lost on his own thoughts. He had spoken to Sam about his wildest idea. He wanted to experience without shaving in a couple of days, while enjoying the beauty of nature. Phone calls, e-mails, and office demands are off-limits. Out of perplexity, he needs to unwind from the hectic schedules of office demands. His dream come true and Man Mission was born. New Zealand was their first choice, hiking in the Harper's Pass Trail; it was followed by, cycling in Japan (second trip). Daniel did not hesitate to join on the third trip after he was delighted in the group's chitchat over a meal. Set of rules were laid-out to make their team more desirable. The trio made a great impact to Alec. Later, the four men went hiking, cycling, kayaking and lots of adventures.
The author weaves his memoir full of exciting twists and turns. His writing style is perfect for his memoir, in fact, I appreciate the Man Mission yearly summary. He knows the perfect timing to insert his personal life into the current Man Mission scene. Plus, each year seems to have an exciting or shocking news, which is hard to put down.
When I read the word mission in the title, I think about a spy, tricks, bombing and terrorism, but I was amazed and started to enjoy this travel memoir. Their accommodation experiences seem the spices of their journey, they are awesome. Reading memoirs are not my usual genre, but the rescue scene pique my interest in the Part One. Furthermore, the solid bond of friendship between the four colleagues are quite impressive. They were laughing together and cry as part of being a man. I did laugh on the tournament they made. Their mode of transport ignites the reader to flip on the next pages, too. Moreover, playing like kids seem to forget all worries are my favorite part.
The book is suitable for all men and women who like travel adventure. Friendship is the central theme of this book; other themes like marriage, wants and needs of being a man will inspire a lot of young adult men and women. Consequently, the four men had relatable qualities of being a friend, son, father and husband. Their character traits are a good example from young adults to grown-up men.
I will rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I like the writing style because the narration is clear; it sounds like, the author tells his tale over a cup of coffee with me. There are gripping tension, which make the book a page-turner. Plus, the book is professionally edited and I did not notice any typos. Though profane words are manageable, which I assume as part of their native tongue. I enjoyed reading this book, but I was a bit dismayed for the author did not put even one picture on their travel journey.
