Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Man Mission introduces us to Eytan, Sam, Daniel, and Alec, four friends who decide to go on an annual one-week adventure in the heart of our exotic world. However, as time passes and serious manly roles such as marriage, fatherhood, and hectic professional responsibilities become more common, these arduous and sometimes challenging escapades become not only a way for these four to escape the seriousness of life, but also a way for them to rebuild their important brotherhood bonds. Life, on the other hand, is not without its unpleasant realities. Eytan Uliel delves deep into his soul to paint a beautiful picture of how the hard facts of life can be confronted via sincere everlasting friendship over the course of a journey shaped by grief, heartbreak, realisations, accomplishments, and occasionally breakdowns.
Eytan Uliel weaves this adventure journey across the exotic wilds of our planet into an entertaining, amusing, soul-searching, and thought-provoking memoir in Man Mission , which uncovers basic flaws in our existence. How can we effectively learn from the mistakes we make on a regular basis? What can we do to get the most out of our situation? All of these issues are expertly addressed as the author leads us through the lives of four friends as they face their fears, failures, and disappointments in a three-part fascinating adventure story divided into 29 chapters. This wonderful arrangement, which made the language simple and easy to follow, was something I loved. In addition, I like how the text's scenes are brought to life through exceptionally vivid descriptions. For example, I could conjure up fantastic mental images of rural New Zealand. All of the vast plains and snow-capped mountains seemed so vivid that I could practically feel the breeze on my face.
Furthermore, I enjoyed the bible passages that were included at the start of each episode in the text. This gave me time to consider the author's meaning and goal even before the story began, not to mention how each chapter began with a beautifully painted map representing an exciting point of the journey. In addition, each chapter concludes with statistics from the journey, such as the length of time these four companions spent travelling and the injuries they incurred.
This is more than a travel journal; it's a self-help book on self-discovery written with wit and humour that will make anyone smile. This was my favourite part of the narrative, and I believe it contributed significantly to the story's happy ending. I thought the first humorous sequence, for example, to be painfully funny. I couldn't help but chuckle at Eytan's depiction of Sam as "Mr. Smart Guy," given that he was the mastermind behind their plot to flee into the woods. This was only one of many amusing incidents that helped to keep the entire series of foolish male adventures fresh and enjoyable. The scene in which Eytan introduces us to his marriage and the pain that comes with it was the most affecting for me. I couldn't help but sympathise with him as he exposed all of his shortcomings when confronted with typical masculine ideals.
There was nothing about Man Mission that I didn't like. Instead, I gathered some fantastic advice. For example, I had no notion that New Zealand had no snakes, bears, lions, or spiders, but instead had millions of gentle sheep and cows. Now that I know, thanks to Eytan's efforts, I plan to visit the location at some point. I couldn't see any flaws in this text that would make it difficult to read. This justifies my belief that professional editing was done prior to publishing. I give it four out of four stars for all of the reasons stated above. It's a fantastic memoir delivered joyfully from the heart of a world traveller, and my conclusion is that it'll be a great read for travelling, not just because it's easy to pick up where you left off, but also because it'll be an invigorating reminder of why you wish to travel.
