Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Growing up, I always idolized my father. He was from a poor, tough background, but he surpassed everything in order to become the man he now is. However, lately, I have found out that he has suffered for a long time without sharing it with anyone, not even his wife. Many men suffer from having a stoic mask in front of their troubles. This notion has damaged a lot of lives and outlooks of many families.
Imagine travelling for an epic adventure every year, such that you gain new experiences and let loose of old trouble. This has been a tradition of four men of albeit different backgrounds and calling, but being men unites them. Right from college, the narrator and his friend Sam birth this idea in an unceremonious fashion, not knowing its placating results. Another two of their friends join in after a couple of trips and these four men travel the world, enjoy new beverages, eat weird things and have several epiphanies along the way. In this book, Man Mission, these four friends live, love and grow into their intended roles as men when discovering that life is not everything it seems to be.
Eytan Uliel takes the reader into these four men’s lives, though he concentrates mostly on the narrator. The author gives a beautiful, mind-gripping account of the men’s stories as he centers on the missions. The story is very interesting, as it is humorous, as we see the men getting into awkward fixes and relentless banter among themselves. The author gives this story an authentic touch as he carefully but amusingly guides us through the ups and downs of a man’s life. He also lets us view the characters as true living beings, as the actions that take place in the book actually take place in real life. A good example is when the narrator is helpless against massive job losses in his company. The book is very easy to read and understand.
The book does not contain any negative feature in my solemn opinion. The author has structured the events of the book in an intriguing way. The reader gets to visualize the actual trips and the events that take place in between, before or after. This helps the reader to get a sense of direction of the men’s lives and follow through it seamlessly. Switching from one event to another or present time to a past event is also seamless, and the reader does not get lost.
The book appears to be exceptionally well-edited, as I could not spot any errors. The story is suitable for a mature audience of adventure fans due to profanity. The feature fits the plot story, as men tend to be carried away while expressing themselves. However, this is not appropriate for the polite and fainthearted. For the above reasons, I rate this book four out of four stars .
