Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Once a dream of four university kids, to travel the world and try new and exciting foods, is now an annual event that they can’t hide their excitement for. It started with a relatively easy hike in New Zealand, which ended with our narrator in the back of a drug lord's truck. Then they went to Japan for cycling, which included a minor injury and some chafing. What started as four unfit, aging men going around the world, each "mission" more outlandish and dangerous than the next, became more of an emotional and mental getaway, to clear their minds and hearts, to be one with nature and themselves.
Year after year, location after location, through family death and relationship problems, they never deviated from their yearly excursions. Each is more thrilling than the next and equally funny, with our main character ending up in the most precarious situations.
This is a really good book. It's full of adventure and humour, but with a good dose of real-life problems to make it relatable to anyone trying to scratch out a living and trying to keep their relationships alive. It tackles real issues men have to endure and the consequences of keeping your fears and regrets inside and letting those hateful emotions fester and turn ugly.
I loved the chapter headings added by the author and the little summary added at the end of each adventure.The author’s attention to detail is impeccable. He did a lot of research into each location to make the story as accurate and thrilling as it could be. As we follow our characters from being university kids to middle-aged men with children and wives, the story takes on a more sober note as the characters each experience the stress in their own way. The book is thrilling, humorous, and motivational. It is also very well written and well edited. When writing this masterpiece of masculine fragility, the author took into account every detail and emotion.
As with most relationships, some don’t work out, and although it is a shame how Charlie and Rachel ended up, it is something that happens in life. The female characters weren’t portrayed very well, which is a shame because the male characters are well-written and grow throughout the plot.
Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a well-written and exciting book full of adventures and heartbreak, and I rate it 4 out of 4 stars. The characters are well-rounded and the adventures are well thought out, as if the author experienced them himself.
I recommend this book to adult readers who need a laugh and motivational support in these tough times. There is a lot of profanity and some religious references that some may find offensive, but it is a very good book and I recommend reading it.
