Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Most people dream about traveling the world for different reasons; to meet new people, learn new cultures, take a break from their monotonous daily life routines, name them. Whether just visiting the Maldives or the pyramids of Egypt, traveling the world is always the ultimate dream, but isn't it even better if we travel the world with close friends? Man Mission is a story authored by Eytan Uliel that narrates a tale of four men who toured different countries for thrilling excursions.
The protagonist and his four friends, Sam, Alec, and Daniel, have been close friends since they were in Law school. After graduating from law school, Sam and the protagonist planned for yearly trips to other countries. Later, Alec and Daniel joined in the tour plans, and the four became tour buddies. They toured Korea, Vietnam, the USA, New Zealand, Australia, Vietnam, Japan, Iceland, Peru, Taiwan, Spain, and South Africa in fifteen years. They faced dangers on some of these trips but also had much fun. With each yearly excursion, these four friends got older, and the older they got, they faced new problems and challenges in their personal lives. Read this adventurous novel and find out how these challenges mold their personalities.
One of the most admirable aspects of this book was how the author tackled the theme of friendship. The four friends looked out for each other and built an unbreakable bond. It is hard for a group of friends to stick together for that long. The conversations were witty, and the language used was easy to comprehend. The humor made this story exciting and engrossed me for hours. The experiences and challenges that these four friends went through had lessons that most readers could apply in their day-to-day lives. For instance, one of the characters had to accept the consequences of cheating, but he had to forgive himself. While thumbing through the pages, I could feel like I was part of their friend circle because they were so relatable.
One thing that some readers won't like is how the female characters are sidelined. The "wives" were not as fun as their spouses. Some readers might not like the portrayal of the female characters, but the book's title might justify that. I think the author wanted to shine a light on the vulnerable side of men. For instance, men cry and express their emotions.
There is nothing that I dislike about this book; it was exceptionally well-edited. It is an engaging account of self-reflection, family, and friendship. I gathered a lot of knowledge by reading this book; therefore, I give it a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. Anyone who enjoys reading adventurous books should give this book a read.
