Review of Man Mission
Posted: 22 Nov 2022, 11:36
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Four guys, fifteen years, and exotic locations; this is Man Mission. Growing into a man is no small feat, but these best friends had each other’s backs along the way. Each year they would plan a trip with little consideration for the reality of their physical fitness. As the years went by and they grew into middle-aged men, the comedy increased along with the injuries. Eytan Uliel writes Man Mission in the style of a personal journal. The main character –who presumably is the author—details his life in both his personal and professional life. The writing switches back and forth from his exciting exploits during the man missions and his everyday life.
Wonderfully hilarious, inspiring, and sometimes even heartbreaking, this book had me laughing and crying out loud. I liked that at the beginning of each chapter, there was a teaser of what was to come. I also enjoyed looking at the maps before each mission. I found the book relatable and entertaining. The adventures described in the book were vivid and candid. I wanted to travel to the places myself. The accounts of his career and personal relationships were honest and engaging. I felt as though I was experiencing the highs and lows along with the characters in the story.
Professionally edited; I didn’t come across a single error. I have nothing but positive things to say about Eytan Uliel’s writing. He wrote in a way that I was able to picture myself there as an observer. His writing flowed naturally and painted a picture vividly as if I were watching a film. I think this book would make for a great movie or television series.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars or 5 out of 5 stars. I found it to be better than most books I’ve read. Although I haven’t read too many books in this particular style, I think if Mr. Uliel is writing them, I will now. I made extra time during my day to read this book because I couldn’t wait to get back to reading it.
I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading about travel and adventure. And for people who like biking, kayaking, and hiking. It’s also a great read for readers who enjoy diaries. Don’t let the title mislead you; this book isn’t just for men. It’s relatable to anyone navigating their way through mid-life realities. Although, it is the perfect book for men who crave adventure but are also planning on starting a family.
