Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
A group of four young lads entering their 20s decides to partake in an adventure every year, which takes them through adrenaline-inducing activities that push their limits of mental and physical strength. The group grows into adults who have their families and themselves to support. As they overcome the hurdles that come with taking on a new mission challenge, we see them go through various life challenges transforming their adventure-filled trips into moments of counsel and clarity on life matters.
Man Mission, authored by Eytan Uliel, is a philosophical fiction adventure novel that takes four men across various world destinations as they do thrilling and sometimes death-defying activities. What initially started as an escape from their monotonous white-collar jobs; evolved into golden moments where there was sharing of wisdom and counsel concerning life challenges. The writing style was unique. Eytan often uses flashbacks in his writing, which adds context to the story. I also liked how the flashbacks correlated with the various chapters' story plots.
The book is quite hilarious. Some scenarios within the story will leave you giggling or laughing your heart out but I have to mention that the book has dark humor, which some might not find amusing. Moreover, the novel portrays the various cultures of the places visited. While reading the book, I learned things that were hard to believe, only to be proven otherwise. One example is the use of vending machines in Japan to sell pain medication, dirty magazines, and other sexual paraphernalia. The author exploits his great travel history to expose readers to various parts of the world.
The narration was flawless. After every chapter, I felt moments of epiphany where I would internalize the chapter and draw lessons from it. For every man's mission challenge, there always seemed to be a correlating life challenge that a book chapter would tackle. Therefore, readers are not only left entertained but also wiser on matters of life. The book is heavy on the use of vulgar language. Therefore, some readers may find it hard to tolerate it. The book has some mild sex scenes that won't bother most readers. The ending was satisfactory despite it being a rushed one. The book's plot was solid. There were no plot holes that I found within the tale. The book also had few grammatical errors, which shows professionalism and dedication in bringing out a quality novel.
Therefore, I would give this book a rating of 4 out of 4. There was nothing that I disliked about the book. However, the rushed ending was quite disappointing. The narration and transitions between past and present events were flawless. They contributed to a great story plot. In addition, the few grammatical errors show the effort put into making this book, which is commendable.
I would like to strongly recommend this novel to any young man in their 20s. I am sure this book will be a life-changer for them concerning how they view life in the future. People who also like adventure will appreciate the details shared about the travel destinations and the cultures of the people the four men encountered in their journey. I do not recommend this novel if you cannot tolerate offensive language as this book heavily uses it.
