Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
From unsuccessful marriages to sitting naked in mineral hot springs, Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a book about the journey of four middle-aged college friends. Once a year, they plan trips and travel to various countries to escape their daily lives. During those " Man Mission " trips, they overcome some of their fears and rediscover themselves. Their travels consist of outdoor activities and trying out cuisine from those places they visit, amongst other things. While traveling, they create lifelong memories and meet interesting characters, some of whom they connect with and learn something profound about them or themselves. They experience the culture of the places they visit and sometimes engage in local activities. Life-changing decisions are made, which lead them to grow and learn to nurture their relationships.
Every chapter starts with two quotes and ends with information about the trip they took. The author's description of the characters and scenes is well written. It was an easy as well as an enjoyable read, and every chapter was engaging and the characters were easy to imagine. The author also takes you through the emotions the characters went through, from being excited about bull fighting to being depressed about losing loved ones. Peter is one of my favorite characters. He gave up everything to live the life he wanted, and he didn't have any regrets. He was wise and had a laid-back approach to life, which I found myself wishing I had lived. I also enjoyed Daniel’s maturity, which made him the one who’d mostly be the voice of reason amongst the guys. I have a few favorite chapters, and the Taiwan trip is my favorite because it was an emotional one for them. They went from being distant and lost in their thoughts to eating sugary doughnuts. The questions the Taiwanese guys asked about western women were amusing. It gave a bit of insight into what men talk about in the absence of women. It also showed that it does not matter where you’re from or your ethnicity, we are all somehow connected.
There is nothing I did not like about the book. I got hooked from the first chapter. The characters are portrayed with depth, and the scenes are believable. Their travels are so inviting that it makes you want to be part of the group.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because it is exceptionally well written and edited, and I really enjoyed reading it.
If you enjoy traveling with friends and doing outdoor activities, then this book is for you. It also serves as a travel guide for all the places they visit.
