Review of Man Mission
What is a man’s purpose? Eytan Uliel and his companions are the subjects of the documentary Man Mission, which follows their journey of self-discovery and growth.
According to Man Mission, a book written by Eytan Uliel, which chronicles the annual boys-only outings of four longtime friends, while the book is structured like a travel diary, it also contains elements of comedy and introspection. A more intimate narrative of the event can be conveyed through the use of the first-person point of view. The narrator’s perspective informs the audience’s view of the world and the characters. Each chapter is dedicated to a different location. In the tale, the flashbacks of their everyday lives are intertwined with it. Real-world issues are shown to be linked to their momentary getaways. In the same way, each year’s adventures are arranged sequentially. It does an excellent job of showing how the characters' lives and circumstances evolved throughout the course of the novel.
What I liked best about the book was that it made me want to read more because of how engrossing the story was. The reader, on the other hand, gets the required excitement from learning about the narrator's past. As his "marriage life" encounters both good and terrible times, his personal ambitions and financial concerns are also progressing in tandem with them. He must exert himself and ensure his financial stability in order for his marriage to succeed. This puts the main character in a predicament.
What I disliked the most about this book were the female characters. There is a tendency toward female protagonists these days, but the female supporting characters in Man Mission were relatively minor. This is a nice change from the norm. They were not discussed from a point of view that understands their motivations or inner decision-making.
I will be rating this book a perfect 4 out of 4 stars because of its writing style: I liked the author's style of writing because the narration was clear. It sounded as if the author was telling his story over a cup of coffee with me, which I liked a lot. There are a lot of tensions in the book, which makes it a page-turner. As a bonus, the book has been edited by a professional, and I didn't find any mistakes in the text. Even though they couldn’t avoid using profane words, which I think is because they were speaking their own language, I can conclude the book was flawless.
I will be recommending this book to readers between the ages of 21 and 60. People who are married and have kids might find it interesting. I don't believe this book would be as engaging or amusing for readers under the age of 20 as it is for those over that age bracket.
