Review of Man Mission
Four young men established their annual friendship tradition in search of new experiences and called it, Man Mission. In every scheduled yearly trip, they will go hiking, kayaking, and biking to get away or to just get distracted. Younger years were filled with memories of world travels that they will forever cherish, but as adulthood takes over, a newfound meaning and purpose awaits them. Throughout the adventure comes manhood challenges they need to face individually; since they were starting to adjust to their new lives becoming a father, a husband, and as a man who has to sacrifice for the sake of his family and career. For 15 years, these mates embarked together on an epic journey where they found growth, fulfillment, disappointment, and reflection of themselves. As the pages turn, we will get to see the confusing code of being a man and how to be a real one.
Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a book I cannot easily let go of after reading. It tells a marvelous story of four men realizing the reality of manhood. The story conveyed a man’s tough negotiation with being a grown-up, the time of stepping up to adulthood, and the challenges of responsibility and duties of being a father and a husband.
Reading this story will impart to the reader some people’s toxic standards on the qualification of becoming a man. This book gave me an idea of how a man’s mind runs and how he feels. It shows to a female reader like me, that there is more to men and they can also become vulnerable when faced with circumstances that trigger or hit their ego.
Apart from this mates’ sacred friendship custom, I see their trip from one destination to another a journey of finding their purpose as individual men, not only to have fun but to realize an important part of their lives. I saw from the story that responsibility is associated with men for a lifetime. Also, aside from the narrative viewing men’s predicament, I met guys in it which I think any decent man should avoid company with. If you will read this book, you will find out what I am talking about and it is up to you if you will agree or not.
Moreover, given that the story showed the importance and values of friendship, career, home, and family, what I loved most about the book is that it presented the distinction between a married man and a single man, which will make readers, specifically guys, to become critical and decisive when planning to or about to settle down, since marriage, as all we know is a serious commitment. I also like how the author used his creativity in crafting words limited to these mates and it summed up to the story’s humorous content which makes it wholly comical. Plus, the character development was impressionable which future readers can gain lessons from.
Furthermore, there is nothing I dislike about this book because I sense that it breaks free from the conventional norms of what makes a real man. I believe, every individual man has his way of expressing himself and Uliel’s Man Mission made a superb achievement in conveying its in-depth goal.
The book was exceptionally well edited since I found no errors in it. Thus, I will reward this worth-reading story a well-deserved 4 out of 4 stars. Man Mission is an ecstatic read. The story is insightful in that it answered my curiosities on a man’s varying sense of companionship or the way he acts when with his friends or girl. This book is perfect for readers who wish to understand why men behave this and that way, for guys who are planning to settle down, and anyone who is into an adventurous world-traveling activity. In addition, readers who just really want to laugh and get away from stress may also try this book. This story is for mature and adult readers since it contains vulgar words and sensitive grown-up activities which may not be suitable for young ages.
