Review of Man Mission
Posted: 10 Oct 2022, 14:01
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Delving into this book, I first thought I was in for a light read. Reading further, I came to realize there was so much more. Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is an autobiographical book focusing on the life and adventurous trips (man missions) of the author. It also gives us snippets into the lives of his three friends. The book gives us an in-depth look into work life, romance, friendships,and family life.
There is so much to love about this book. First, I loved that the book, while autobiographical,was written as more of a fictional book which made it interesting. Second, Man Mission gives us a glance into various parts of the world and is written in such a manner that one feels as if they are part of the group. Third, the book discusses life in a wholesome manner and we see the ups, downs and in-between. We witness the rise, fall and, redemption of Eytan in various aspects of his life.
Fourth, I got a chance to learn from all the character's experiences. There are nuggets of wisdom also shared by some of the people, the author and his friends met. For instance, Peter's (the sailor) advice to the group was highly beneficial to me. Last, there were humorous moments that made me laugh out loud. This was especially so in the first and second chapter. This, in itself, was a real treat.
What I did not like about the book was the portrayal of toxic masculinity in some instances. I also noted some instances where the closing speech marks were not used. This was especially so whereby the author was stating what he thought some of the characters intended to say. I am unsure as to whether this was a style of writing used or whether they were actual errors.
The book seems to be professionally edited as it contained only a few errors (not counting the missing speech marks discussed above). I, therefore, rate it four out of four stars. The book was really interesting and quite enjoyable.
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in reading about adventures and autobiographies. Man Mission would, however, not be suitable for minors owing to profanities and crude language used in the book. Caution is also given to atheists as each chapter is introduced by a Bible verse. Other than that though, there are only a few mentions on anything religious.
