Review of Man Mission
If you enjoy adventure stories with life lessons, then Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a must-read. It all began when two college buddies decided to take a trip to get away from their busy schedules after a boring and exhausting week. Gradually, the group grew to four pals, and the trip planned to get out of college became an annual tradition. The guys mature and take shape in front of the reader, confronting their fears, doing a lot of nonsense, and putting themselves in danger, but they also mature and shape their personalities. Many things in their lives change over time. They start families, careers, fall in love, and lose loved ones, but the annual expedition continues. The book consists of three parts and 15 chapters. Each chapter is about each trip. The chapters are preceded by a small map of the place where the action takes place and also a quote that prepares the reader for a new trip.
I must point out that the book exceeded my expectations. The first thing I liked were the quotes before the chapters. They are thought-provoking and add value to the book. The book's overall structure, parts, and chapters are also well-organized, and the reader maintains a sense of wholeness throughout the reading process. The book is varied and does not leave the reader bored. I would add the book to the list of educational books. The author introduces us to the sights of different countries in detail, and the main characters' exciting, wild stories make the reader yearn for more experiences. For example, you'll learn how to react if you come face to face with a lion in Africa, as well as what to pack when visiting this continent.
Another aspect I enjoyed was the book's life lessons and depth of substance. Despite their numerous adventures, the main characters have many flaws and problems. They are attempting to deal with the social statuses that have been imposed on them. This gave the characters depth and brought them closer to us. The end of the book was also thought-provoking and appropriate.
Because there is nothing that I did not like, I rated this book 4 out of 4 stars. The book is full of adventures set in various places around the world, but the sense of wholeness is maintained. The main characters are versatile. They have problems in marriage, in their careers, but they try to overcome them while also dealing with social constructs. With each passing year, they learn to deal with their fears, to live in the wild, and to have real fun. Leaving the comfort zone becomes a prerequisite for a better life for them. I think the author was perfectly able to bring the message to the reader. This book is well edited. I did not find any errors.
I recommend the book to people who love adventure and travel. Also, people who love books with life lessons will definitely enjoy this book.
