Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Man Mission by Eyton Uliel is a novel about adventure that four friends from Australia often go for every single years for 15 years. With specific rules on what to do during the epic journeys, the four friends traverse the world, learn more about things they never knew, and eat foods they had no idea about. In 15 years, the friends visit New Zealand where they take a ride with drug dealers, visit South Africa, where they come face-to-face with a lion, and during their visit to Vietnam, they spend time in a luxurious resort meant for Vietnamese Communist administrators alone, and ice climb when they mission visit Iceland. Each trip in every country comes with a lot of lessons, and happiness. At some point, the mission becomes not only a trip where friends would enjoy and learn new things, but a way to evade the challenges of career and family life, when the four finally get married, and begin to pursue careers. It is during the trips that the four friends would encourage one another, give hope to each other, and get determination to deal with the challenges.
I like how Uliel has managed to write a novel of three parts, and adventures in the various countries in such a way that they are not only related, but make the reader feel what the protagonist also feels as read in the book. At the beginning, the protagonist is very hopeful, and believes in a good life in future. However, with time, things turn out to be what was not expected, and in the end, uses the trips to get some hope from friends and freedom, which he lacks. Uliel, therefore, has established a story that encompasses a lot, and has a lot of lessons in life, especially for friends.
I do not think there is anything I dislike about this book. It is well written, with a lot of skills and knowledge about what the reader expects from one incidence to another. I like how Uliel gives account of human behavior, especially having realized that expectations may fail at some point, and choices made in life also have certain consequences. I would have wanted the book to paint the women more colorfully, which is the only thing I feel would have been added to this excellent novel. This would have made it very interesting, and attractive to readers even more.
I give this novel 4 out of 4 stars . The novel takes the reader on a mission that the four friends have, and informs the reader about the lessons they learn. When they finally get married, and begin new life, with new challenges, the author still offers quality details of how trips now become a way to escape the challenges, and not just for happiness alone. Again, the editing, and skillful discussion of events used in writing this novel, contribute to the rating I have given. I have also read the book, but I have not come across grammar errors to point out.
I recommend this book to friends, who want to find happiness in life by travelling the world. It is good for people who want to find new meaning in life, given that as they tour various parts of the world, they not only explore the world, but get to know the good, bad, and ugly of every country they visit. Friends in the story, end up learning different things in life, which they would have otherwise not known. The book is also good for individuals, who want some faith, and hope in life, when the challenges of life become unbearable. However, I would not recommend the book for children because it has some profane language.
