Review of Man Mission

[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a narrative that follows the exploits of four friends as they set off on a series of difficult journeys to far-off places in the world. It started just for fun and macho excitement, but it developed into something more with time. Their adventure became a getaway to a tranquil setting for in-depth meditation away from the rush and bustle of city life, family, and work issues.
Sam and the narrator, whose name remains unnamed for the sake of the tale, decide to go off on an epic male adventure that will take them to far-off places and involve difficult undertakings. As their mission develops into an annual event, their common friends Alec and Daniel eventually join them. The amusing and surprising occurrences when they travel to various locations worldwide are recounted. The difficulties of life are thrown at them as they get older. They deal with marital problems, economic hardships, and family obligations. Their adventures started acting as a means of escape. It was a moment to consider oneself and what it means to be a guy in reality.
The tone of the book was masterfully established by the author. The comedy was cleverly worded and amusing. However, the humorous parts of their trips did not overshadow the somber and thought-provoking parts. Each side has its own time, and both are equally balanced. The characters are distinct and have depth. Masculine clichés are dismantled to provide a real-world perspective on men. Their errors, sacrifices, and efforts are displayed without regard for gender.
There was nothing in this book that bothered me. The concepts of the book were acceptable and pertinent to the narrative. Their escapades were thrilling and entertaining, and the narration was outstanding. While reading, I saw a few grammatical mistakes, and the editing was nice. Also, I liked how the story was told in the first person. It enables the reader to get a glimpse of the narrator's life and to understand his errors on a personal level.
Because of the nice concept, storyline, and narration, I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars. I suggest this book to anyone who enjoys travel and adventure.
