Review of Man Mission
Posted: 18 Nov 2022, 23:46
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Man Mission is written by Eytan Uliel, and it is a novel that I would like to believe is based on real life events. I would be happy for anyone who had friends this good and hung out with them like that at least once a year. The plot of the story is centered around four Australian men. The book describes 15 years of their lives. They embark on 'man missions' every year to cool off from their stressful lives. Each year they go to a different place to physically challenge themselves. The place needs to have little to no contact with people. It would just be them, their gear and the road. During these trips, they bond, and they help each other one way or the other without the need to pry into each other's lives. Their brotherhood dates back to when they were children, so they don't need to pry to know that something is wrong. They support each other through tough times. This pact had become so necessary that they felt that their sons and the sons of their sons will one day join them. This would keep the tradition alive and help other men too. Although the book is about these trips to different parts of the world, a story of these men's lives is told. Their struggles and successes in their marriages, parental responsibilities and careers.
The author did an excellent job at portraying the emotions of each character. These friends loved each other dearly. Although their bond was as tight as brotherhood, they sometimes couldn't express it freely. Maybe it's because of the stereotypes that they have about manhood that have been passed down to them by their fathers and society. For instance, men don't cry. Or the stereotypes about a man's emotional detachment from himself and the world. There was one part of the book that stuck with me the most. During one of their trips, an old man with sad eyes looked at the brothers. He told them that no matter what, in this lifetime, they need to tell those closest to their hearts that they love them. They would also need to show it. A real man does not coop up all his emotions. He must express himself while he still has breath in his lungs.
There is nothing that had disappointed me while reading the book. Therefore, there is nothing that I can complain about.
The book was well written and professionally edited. The flow of the book was not disturbed or distorted by any grammatical errors. That is why I would give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
There is a lot of profane language that has been used in the book. In addition, the book also has a bit of erotica here and there. That is why an older audience is recommended. The book would interest a variety of adult audiences. Men that are looking to be motivated to face life, being open to the challenges of adulthood. The challenges of manhood. The book can also interest women who are interested in understanding how some men think. This book also makes the reader aware of how similar men and women are than they think or would like to believe. It makes one aware of how baseless some stereotypes are.
