Review of Man Mission
Posted: 18 Apr 2023, 02:56
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Man Mission by Eytan Uliel accounts for four men who embark on an adventurous journey once every year for fifteen years. The story is told from a first-person's point of view. Dreams we have at a young age most likely fade with time, and as we grow old, we tend to think of dreams as wild fantasies. That, however, was not the case for the narrator in Man Mission. After receiving a call from his friend Sam, he rethinks his life and plans to explore different places on Earth. Although the adventure starts with only the two of them, they are later joined by other friends, Daniel and Alec. Despite the focus on the trips, the author also dives into work struggles, keeping family together, and everyday challenges.
The most enjoyable aspect of Man Mission is how Eytan made it feel like I was on the journey with the four, from when they visited New Zealand to Fiji and other destinations. His writing has vivid descriptions that enable a reader to picture every scenario as though they were there. Although I have not visited any countries, the author gave a good account of the beautiful places and what to expect. I was sceptical about reading a book about four men. Still, the author does a great job showing the vulnerability of men as human beings, prone to emotions, pain, and uncertainties. The book also teaches great values like friendships and not giving up on your dreams.
I would have loved it if Man Mission had developed some stories and made them lengthy. For instance, the narrator's divorce from his wife, Rachael, felt rushed. Other than that, I loved every part of the book and the adventures.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because I do not consider the above-stated reason strong enough to give it less than five stars. On the contrary, it is a positive because it shows the book was excellent and left me wanting more. The book is thoroughly edited because I encountered no errors or typos while reading.
I recommend this book to lovers of adventure and people who enjoy stories of long-term friendships and their challenges. Young adults ready to marry or marry will also enjoy Man Mission. I would not recommend it to people below 18 because of the book's profanity and use of vulgar language.
