Review by Chrismo770 -- Man Mission by Eytan Uliel
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
The book Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is about four best friends the protagonist that is unknown, Sam, Alec and Daniel. These four went to school together from a young age. They kept in constant communication with one another throughout school and collage life. They transitioned into adults and had work responsibilities and families to take care of. They had this dream of exploring the whole world that later turned out to become the Man Missions, later a man mission charter was made up and various trips where undertaken. The Charter majorly had the rules and guidelines for the man missions, over time they kept amending the charter was is an amazing part of the story. Man mission trips happened for 15 years in various places. Such as New Zealand, Japan, Australia, Spain, Thailand, South Korea, South Africa, Vietnam, USA, Taiwan, Peru and Iceland. Every trip required that they travel from one point to the other using their physical energy even thou they burned out sometimes, they had to continue until they finished the whole challenge. Different activities where done during the various trips such as hiking, cycling, Kayaking, mountain biking, stand-up paddle boarding, trekking, ice climbing and Aurora Hunting.
The greatest importance of the adventurous trips was to learn new cultures, beliefs, discover abilities and weaknesses, get a break from the busy daily schedule and talk as men. The Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is an exciting story that grips your attention and lures you to read on and on. The definition of a true man is well elaborate through the different trips. Eytan Uliel alters the story line from their individual family lives and the adventurous trips throughout the book. He writes about Rachael a girl friend to one the four friends, her introduction to the friends, Sam’s wedding ceremony, childbirth and how they handled parenting. The events are told in sequence of occurrence establishing a clear contrast between the different parts of the story line. Every character is well represented in the story line each with their, family life, career paths, life struggles and pressures details are well elaborate. During every trip, they returned home with new experiences, often wounded or injured. The trips allowed them time and space to talk through life experiences as men and take a break from the cycle of life.
The fifteen Man Mission trips are written up in a tranquil style. They are intertwined with many events which happened throughout the story line. The physical exercises engaged it define true manhood as a go getter. The means of transport and modes of accommodation used make the story associable and real. The various characters in the story line over time had a great impact on their families because of the involvement in the Man Missions. The readers of this book can see how the wives, husbands and families have been impacted by the trips. I loved how the various character’s in the story line had responsibilities such as map reading. The cover for the book is outstanding, I loved the color choices.
While reading the book, I pictured the places in actual life. Eytan Uliel’s writing in this book is conversational and engaging. Its almost hard to think this is work of fiction, the story line seems very authentic. The description of the scenery of the places featured in the story line is so vivid that no imagery was necessary. Local cultures of individuals in the different places visited was also observed respectfully and well recorded by Eytan Uliel. They watched a Spanish bullfight, at Fiji participated in traditional kava ceremonies, and dined on boiled sheep’s head and puffin burgers in Iceland. One belief that amused me so much was is the Siberian belief that “a real man catches and kills their own food.”
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because Eytan Uliel’s writing is very captivating and lures you to read on and on. I love the fact that the book is a work of fiction but seems very factual and real. The vivid description of places makes it feel like a great tool for tour guides and agencies for tourists before embarking on trips. I found no errors and believe the work was properly edited and proofread. There is nothing I disliked about the book I loved the instances he used profane language; it was funny. I would recommend this book for adults.
