Review by weesteelee -- Man Mission by Eytan Uliel
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
I was instantly drawn to this book as I LOVE adventure stories. I was pleasantly surprised that this wasn’t over the top macho and more so that this was a piece spoken from the heart. He was a man who’d done everything he was supposed to or taught (subconscious or not) and things still ended for him as they do in more than 50 percent of marriages- divorce. I’m recently separated so I think this really biased my opinion on the book but what is any book, if not a story of life and love for someone else to internalize and decipher in their own way. We all bring something different to the table in a way of understanding where someone else is coming from and I knew that I’d understand him. We’re all on our journeys, as he mentions towards the end, and regardless if people stay or die or whatever, your story is your own, just as much as your adventures. He hooked me with a title and description but ultimately made me fall in love with his story by just being earnest and foregoing any need for machismo or bravado.
I rate this book 4/4 stars. It was great and rated top notch because it was real for me. Both on his level- fear and wading through life with unspoken feelings and regrets and that of their adventures. They trekked through these really awesome places but, you know, had dad-bods and kids and wives at home. They weren’t getting any younger but were completely dedicated to making it through, all-the-while taking blows to their “manhood” when someone would get injured or something didn’t turn out as they’d hoped. I will forever use “the pink bracelet” idea moving forward with my own friends when someone complains too much or is a sod in anyway.
Being that this was a book of manly proportions, I expected a lot more profanity. The first use of the word Asshole was on page 36. I know it may not speak to the book at all but I’m guessing I personally average an easy 100 curses a day.
The only erotic scenes were those mentioned of previous intimate times with their wives and the lessening of those times moving through the years. As a woman married 13 years, I understand this completely and he did it completely tasteful.
I really can’t speak negative to this at all except maybe in formatting? He tries to tell you about the adventures but then his life and they’re sentences apart so sometimes I was lost. Just better transitioning? Maybe?
I only noticed maybe 2 spelling errors but was unaware that I’d have to speak to those as an editor of sorts and such didn’t write them down. I will though, moving forward. Oh, the fine print.
