Review of Man Mission
Posted: 05 Jun 2023, 10:44
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
A lucky day, Eytan; the protagonist, and the author of this story, meets Sam; the person who would become one of his most precious friends, and share his great dream. A dream that consisted of living adventures with his friends, traveling through different parts of the world. This thought was forgotten until many years later, unexpectedly, Sam started a great tradition, when Eytan, and Sam, along with their two other friends, Daniel, and Alec, embarked on this series of extreme adventures, Man Mission: "Four Men, Fifteen Years, One Epic Journey", which would last fifteen years, and was written to become immortal, by Eytan Uliel.
Man Mission, at first glance, is the story of four friends which get together every year to see new countries, and do extreme activities. However, it goes much further, the author delved into his reality, experience, and feelings. Eytan narrates the evolution that each of them had, from their adolescence to adulthood, as the reading progresses you know the personality of the protagonists, their ups, and downs. In conclusion, it is not just an adventure book, it is the story of four men with great friendships which supported each other, and were loyal to each other, from the simplest to the most important.
Mainly, I am going to highlight as a positive aspect the high value of friendship, companionship, and loyalty that this book presents, since they are a group of true friends. For me, it is something very significant, and valid. The fact that this group boldly, and courageously embarked on these great adventures seems admirable to me. On the other hand, the description, and development of the characters are very well done. The description of the landscapes, and the environment, I could imagine. And also, it has many parts that I found funny, such as when the group of drug traffickers were the heroes of Eytan, I just thought, how lucky he is! And when they were overcharged, and given a “bonus”, unbelievably funny.
Regarding some aspect that I disliked, I am personally upset regarding some personal decisions made by the narrator, in my opinion they did not have any justification. In any case, it is the narrative of personal stories, and questioning these decisions already corresponds to other topics. Also, it was difficult for me to maintain continuity in my reading, because despite the fact that it started out fascinating, too many things were incorporated those were irrelevant to the plot, so it lost interest.
It is worth mentioning that the reading contains profanity, everyday realities of some couples, and a slight sexual content. Therefore, I recommend this book to adult readers who like adventures in nature; it might give you some good ideas to try on your next trip. If you don't like reading about some aspects mentioned, please refrain from reading this book, and look for other options. This book is very well edited, throughout the reading I did not get any errors.
In conclusion, I highlight the high degree of loyalty, and camaraderie that this group of friends demonstrates, the perseverance, and daring in each adventure, which I consider to be extreme. For all these reasons, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. Also, I emphasize that it is not a book for tourists which want to see the world, it is a book for adventurers which want to live their days to the fullest.

The main theme of friendship was great as well. I like the short recaps at the end (the journey and injuries sustained).
