Review of Man Mission
Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a beautiful story of the journey of four best friends who seek adventure and a break from their turbulent lives. Eytan, Sam, Daniel, and Alec advance to a different country every year for a certain period and reside in nature and enjoy its thrill, aside from the comforts and lifestyle of their homes for fifteen years. They named the adventure the ‘Man Mission’. The four men hiked, biked, pitched tents, and embraced manhood in their unique style. They learned from various cultures and the wildlife. Also, they faced several challenges during their journey, and despite that, they never gave up on their promise. Their connection only strengthened over the years, and their friendship turned into a strong bond of brotherhood. Eytan describes how their domestic and professional lives develop parallel to the man mission adventures. He begins his romantic life with his girlfriend, Rachael. It beautifully proceeds into marriage and kids over the years and how it eventually crumbles down. Man Mission is a charming story of adventure, love, loss, and friendship.
I have only positive remarks about how well the book communicated. Excitement rose when Sam called Eytan and asked him to go on a vacation with him. The book is delightfully engaging. All the characters are well-painted and have contributed generously to make the book captivating. When Eytan introduced Rachael to his friends, I experienced a sense of family and ambiance. It is thrilling when Sam and Eytan hear a rustling sound at night outside their pitched tents in New Zealand, and in the next moment, it becomes humorous when the sound turns out to be a herd of grazing cows and not some savage creature ready to attack them. It is amusing that the men mention themselves as members of the man mission charter and their companions as the wife committee. The book gave an insight into different cultures, like drinking Sake, a beverage in Japan. Also, the description of the wildlife, landscapes, and the man mission adventures are entertaining to read. The development of the relationship between Rachael and Eytan is emotional but also inevitably passionate. The brotherhood of the four friends is something to learn. They indulged in contemplative discussion and helped each other up.
I did not have any negative remarks about the book. Also, I did not spot any grammatical errors.
I give the book 4 out of 4 stars for its compelling and non-monotonous writing. I also love how it balanced humor, adventure, failures, and healing.
I recommend Man Mission to the readers who enjoy reading creative non-fiction and adventure stories. I would suggest it for its proud ending, beautiful story, and the emotional and passionate journey of all the characters.
