Review of Man Mission
Posted: 08 Nov 2022, 13:04
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Man Mission is a memoir written by Eytan Uliel. The book follows a group of four friends named Eytan, Alec, Sam, and Daniel as they travel throughout the world. It tells the story of their first adventure.
As they explored the world, they met a wide variety of people and situations. From a trip with a drug trafficker in New Zealand to a screaming lion in South Africa's Kruger National Park, a hike to Machu Picchu, and ice climbing in freezing-cold Iceland. During their trips, they moved around a lot and, depending on where they were, used different kinds of transportation, mostly kayaking, hiking, and cycling. By doing all kinds of daring things, they ran away from reality, and soon this men-only mission became a yearly event. Throughout these trips, the four men learned how important it is to get away from their normal lives and reset their minds.
I enjoyed the writer's decision to write the novel in the first person. I was able to relate to and understand everything the narrator went through. The way the author gave us a feel of each character's past was incredibly well done. I quickly understood how they fit into the story. Male-centric topics shed light on the challenges men face and the false stereotype that they are invincible and incapable of showing emotion. Men have emotions and need to feel loved and supported. I gained a deeper insight into the male psyche after reading this book. The importance of friendship in people's lives is reflected in the narrative's central topic. The book's vivid descriptions were my favorite part. Uliel did a good job painting a picture in the reader's mind of the settings where the four guys traveled on their adventures. Because of his excellent writing style, I found myself laughing and crying with these four guys. It was an emotional roller coaster, but one I'd ride again in a heartbeat.
There were times when I couldn't keep track of what was happening because the author would switch gears in the middle of a paragraph, such as when I was reading about one of the men's newest experiences and then the focus shifted to something that occurred back at home. That made me feel a little confused. Except for that, I really enjoyed this book.
Man Mission is professionally edited, since I found no errors in it. Therefore, I rate it 4 out of 4 stars.
I would recommend this book to adults that like adventures and are not offended by erotic scenes and profanities.
