Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
The Man Mission is a beautifully written narrative about friendship, travel, adventure, devotion, adversity, and personal growth, written by Eytan Uliel. It's an adventure story about four college buddies and their yearly vacation, which they call the "Man Mission," in which they go hiking, bicycling, or kayaking all over the world.
The four friends' trips are totally opposite to their regular lives as high-functioning professionals and businessmen with wives and families. The annual mission allows the men to strengthen their bonds with one another while also reflecting on and exploring their personal experiences. Life-changing decisions are made throughout the narration, such as marrying, starting a new career, and becoming a father. It also follows a man's journey of self-discovery in discovering what it means to be a man.
The Man Mission is divided into three parts, simply referred to as parts one, two, and three, and it concludes with an epilogue titled Home. The book is perfectly structured to tell the story, with each chapter recounting one of the man's missions. They meet interesting people, stay in unusual places, eat strange foods, and occasionally find themselves in unfortunate situations along the way.
The author does an excellent job of blending the current year's man's mission with events from previous years. He also does an excellent job of describing each mission location. Vietnam, Thailand, Fiji, South Africa, Iceland, Spain, Peru, and the United States are just a few of the countries these friends visit. During their journey, they hitch rides with drug dealers in New Zealand, down kava shots on Fijian beaches, come face to face with a roaring lion in South Africa, stay in a resort reserved exclusively for Vietnamese Communist officials, trek to Machu Picchu, and go ice climbing in Iceland.
What I liked best about the book was how detailed the author's descriptions of the various places he visited were. He described each scene so vividly that I could picture it. It felt more like I was a part of each Man Mission.
This book was professionally edited. There were no typographical or grammatical errors. This is a must-read for anyone interested in adventure. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to all young adults, adults, and fantasy and adventure readers. Because this book contains some vulgar language and sexual content, I don't recommend it to anyone who might be offended by those elements. The Man Mission deserves a perfect 4 out of 4 stars.
