Review of Man Mission
Eytan Uliel's Man Mission is an adventure novel. The author offers us a narrative about a narrator who goes on a trip with his three other buddies, Sam, Daniel, and Alec. They visit a variety of nations, including Japan, Vietnam, New Zealand, South Africa, and others. The narrator claims that he and his companions went on 15 excursions in all, and that they made sure to visit various nations on each of these journeys. They termed these expeditions Man Mission only to give them a unique moniker.
The reason for these visits was because these four guys were close friends in college, but when they graduated, they opted to pursue their lives separately. They found new occupations, settled down, and began families of their own. As a result, when they reunited, they agreed to embark on these travels. The narrator notes that during these travels, they were able to participate in a variety of activities in order to have a better understanding of how people from various nations live their lives and enjoy their traditions. They were able to catch up on their lives as well as talk about their own families throughout these travels. This book was separated into three pieces, each with five journeys, so there had been a lot of change among these four guys over the course of these three sections, given that they only went on these travels once a year.
The many activities that they engaged in in various parts of the world were fascinating to read about. I admired the men's decision to visit Kruger National Park in Gauteng, South Africa, to witness various creatures. The way the various creatures were described was intriguing since every feature of the animals was detailed in such a way that the reader could see them. I loved the narrator's devotion to his wife as well. During his time in China, he was able to manage his emotions and stay true to his vows by refusing to be seduced by a female masseuse who sought to entice him and give him oral sex.
I enjoyed how these four gentlemen utilized their annual visits to find solace in one another and to offer each other counsel. In that way, they'd know exactly what to do in order to tackle various problems in their life. Reading this book helped me realize that talking to other people who are close to you about your difficulties, rather than keeping them to yourself, can benefit you in every way. You will not only find comfort and guidance, but you will also create a stronger bond with those who are close to you.
There are no flaws in this book that I could find and those that I didn't like. Despite the fact that the narrator and his companions faced several challenges in their lives and on their excursions, they did not give up. That also taught me that taking time to enjoy yourself will provide you with plenty of opportunities to forget about your issues for a while and simply clean your mind. This book was free of grammatical errors, which provides evidence that it was exceptionally edited. For these reasons, I rate the book 4 out of 4 stars. I suggest it to grownups who enjoy reading travel stories so that they may get a sense of where they might want to go.
