Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Have you ever considered abandoning your daily activities to travel the world with your friends? The book, Man Mission, by Eytan Uliel, is a non-fiction story that narrates the author's life experiences along with his three best friends, Sam, Daniel, and Alec, who embark on a vacation to various countries, such as Japan, Spain, Peru, South Africa, and several other exciting places. These people all graduated from university, established their own careers, married their partners, and had children. As they went through these stages in their lives, they began to encounter different problems. As a result of this, they all agreed to take an annual vacation where they would do all kinds of strenuous activities. This is how their Man Mission began, which lasted for over fifteen years. On reading this book, we get to know the problems these men face and what they encounter as they travel to several parts of the world.
The author's and his three buddies' adventures lead me to many parts of the globe. For example, I have never traveled outside of my country, but while reading the book, I was able to discover the beauty of several countries, their cuisine, recreational activities, and their local people. This book is also educational in that it attempts to define happiness in a man. I discovered that happiness wasn't what most men believed it to be, such as having your dream job, marrying, and starting a family. The author's work is based on his expertise, but he finds it tiresome and boring. He also has a problem with his marriage due to the financial challenges he faces. It was the trips he took with his friends that relieved him of his stress, and he found the true meaning of happiness.
What I dislike about the book is that it has more than 300 pages, making it long. The book, however, cannot be cut short because the author continues to take us on several trips and activities that he had with his friends. Secondly, the author's use of flashbacks is a little perplexing. For example, I became disoriented while reading about the author's adventures with his friends, only to find myself reading about his home life in the next paragraph. As the book progressed, though, I gained a better understanding of the author's relationship with the mission and his personal life.
The fact that the book is long and that the author employs flashbacks does not detract from my enjoyment of it. It is simple to understand and error-free. As a result, I'd rate the book 4 out of 4 stars.
This book is intended for men who are experiencing difficulties in their lives and are looking for ways to relieve their stress and be happier. This book is also recommended for both men and women who like to read about exciting adventures.
