Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Recently, feminism has become very popular. The mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial struggles of men are usually ignored. Eytan Uliel in this non-fiction named Man Mission expresses the experience of the average man through the stories of four friends named Eytan, Dan, Alec, and Sam. These four friends became friends while they were in college. The four of them loved tourism, exotic cuisine, and adventure. When they were in college, they had fantasized about visiting different exotic locations all over the world. However, after leaving college, their lives became so hectic that they forgot their dreams. They were busy with their careers, jobs, spouses, and kids. Each of them had so much responsibility, and they secretly desired to be free from their responsibilities.
Sam called Eytan and told him that they had to go on vacation. Eytan agreed. This was how the man missions started. Despite the criticism of their wives, they travelled to so many countries, including Iceland, South Africa, New Zealand, and Spain. They engaged in dangerous but exciting activities, such as climbing ice mountains and biking in dangerous terrain.
This book is literally the best book I have read this year. The plot is so interesting I finished it in one night. The character development is superb. The audience will appreciate the growth of the four friends. They develop from college students to full-grown men that have to take care of their families. This book will enlighten the audience about different cultures all over the world. The reader will learn about the Africans in South Africa, the Asians in Korea, and the culture of the people in Iceland.
Even though this book is about adventure and a lot of humour is found in the narrative, Man Mission also deals with very serious issues, such as emotional and relationship problems. For example, the divorce that happens in the narrative will teach the audience how to handle emotional and relationship challenges. I did not notice a single error; this book is exceptionally edited. Eytan does a wonderful job with the description of different sceneries in this story. He describes it with such skill that the reader would think they are in the location themselves. I have been to South Africa, and I must confess; Eytan describes South Africa accurately.
It is important that I point out the chauvinistic nature of this book. The book is centred on men. The book discusses male perspectives about issues in life. It describes the entertainment and activities that men like. It expresses how men handle relationships. Women are left out of the picture. This might not be the intention of the writer, but it seems like this book was created more for men than for women.
Despite the gender bias, I still rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I am giving it the highest rating because it is an exciting story about the adventures of friends that love and support each other. I recommend this story to men that are going through a midlife crisis.
