Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Man Mission is a book that tells the story of four friends, their adventures around the world, and the path that their personal lives and careers take over a period of 15 years. While in college, two friends fantasise about traveling around the world to experience different places and their local cuisines. After they graduate from college, they go on their first adventure and the Man Mission, as they affectionately call it, is born. These adventures later go on to include their other friends, Daniel and Alec. Their trips eventually evolve from a spur-of-the-moment adventure to an organised yearly event complete with its own customs. The novel not only covers the adventures of this group of friends, but also tells the story of their transition from young college students to husbands, fathers, and working-class men.
This book was such an interesting read. I absolutely loved the themes that Eytan Uliel brought into play and the issues of societal pressure that he tackled. The narration of their annual trip was also well-written, interesting, and covered a diverse number of destinations. Unlike most travel narrations that tend to drag with their superfluous descriptions, these adventures grabbed my attention and were filled with fun and dramatic moments. Their trips saw them engaging in activities that they had deemed manly including kayaking, cycling, hiking, and even ice-climbing. Also, the bromance between the four friends and the way they supported and came through for each other was quite enjoyable. The camaraderie between the characters and their playful banter also made the novel quite fun to read.
Although the friends had many good moments, they also faced some difficult moments. From hiding insecurities to suppressing emotions to choosing unfulfilling career paths for the sake of good pay, these four friends were not spared the harsh side of life. Eytan Uliel clearly detailed the struggles that men face and the sacrifices that they make for their families.
I could not find any fault with the book. It was easy to read, humorous, and a real eyeopener. Therefore, I rate this novel a 4 out of 4 stars as it was an enjoyable read and was also professionally edited.
I found this book to be inspirational and insightful when approaching the challenges that adulthood brings. This book is well-suited for young and middle-aged men as they can relate to their struggles with societal expectations. I would also recommend it to people who are interested in seeing the world from a man's perspective.
