Review of Man Mission
Posted: 14 Feb 2023, 01:18
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is like a roller coaster that does not stop. Every chapter has a new adventure, new characters, and new mission but the same friendship that defies all odds. The four central characters have made a pact to go on an annual trip yearly. It is the central theme of the book. But the author has ensured that every adventure has a reason for it.
The book has a simple premise which is the most significant positive of the book. The author has not tried to convolute it with unnecessary subplots. The boys have their families, which are also an essential part of the story. However, the book's sole focus is to have a deep narration of the journey these friends go through. Sure, their personal life progresses along with the trip. From getting married, starting families, death, affairs, marriages ending etc. But these situations are presented in a manner that makes us feel these central characters' emotions. However, we want these men to go on to the next adventure. Once they are on the journey, the humor just does not stop. There are instances when the lives of these characters are in danger. But even such instances induce a humor which keeps the adventure ongoing. All the experiences ensure the progress of the story. However, the tale of Rail Trail, Otago, New Zealand, has to be my favorite. The entire group gets together for this holiday, and everyone has a part to play, making this one my favorite.
There is nothing particularly negative about the book. It has been exceptionally well edited. Special mention of having a small paragraph before the start of every chapter. It induces a sense of anticipation in the adventure. Further, at the end of every chapter, there are statistics about the trip, which are scribbled. The part where the author mentions the sustained injuries is delightful.
I will give the book 5 out of 5 stars. It is an exceptional journey not to be missed by anyone. It takes a modern take on manhood in the modern era and how it is ok for men to have emotions.
The book is a must-read for men who are trying to discover themselves in their 30s or 40s. The characters in the book remind us of ourselves in some form, and these adventurous tales might just be the self-discovery book you were looking for.
