[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Book Cover
4 out of 4 stars
Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a non-fiction book. It explores the lives of four men who build a yearly mission together as friends for fifteen years. The author writes in the first person, including the lives of his friends, Sam, Daniel, and Alec. Eytan provides a background on their friendship that helped build up their exploration thoughts and deliberate plans. The goal at the beginning was an annual adventure to explore the world. However, when the men married and families grew, they mostly looked forward to the trips to escape the conundrum of family and work life. They used the trip to reflect and recharge for the year.
It is captivating to see the mission develop from disorganization to organization as the team incorporates better planning with each season. The mission trips began at Harper's Pass, South Island, New Zealand, with only Eytan and Sam. The narrator lets us know how unprepared they were for the strenuous hiking. He left the mission with an injured ankle. Daniel and Alec joined in later, and for the following years, the team embarked on touring the world out of their comfort zone for five to ten days each year. I loved how Daniel joined later and took up the master planning, taking care of every travel, activity, and boarding detail. Etyan liberally expresses the intricate details of their missions, creating a clear mental picture of the adventure. You feel part of the adventure reading the pages; you can only stop when the mission trip is complete. I loved the maps provided at the beginning and the vital statistics at the end of each section. However, it would have been nice to hear the wives' side of how the missions impacted their and their partners' lives.
Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is an excellent read for authentic story lovers. The book portrays the life situation of many marriages today, with people hiding their emotions and feelings. I would gladly rate the book 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to married men who would greatly benefit from the life lessons. The book is well edited, with no grammatical errors.
