Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
There's a mix of happiness and sadness as four friends uphold a tradition they had created for themselves. This culture was called the Man Mission, and it involved these friends traveling every year to discover a new kind of adventure.
Eytan and his friends had a lot going on in their lives, and they were too caught up to realize that they had forgotten about all their plans from their college days. Sam reminded Eytan of their plans one day, and they had decided to plan an adventure pretty soon. They decided to go hiking in New Zealand to Harper's Pass Trail. They were almost successful, but Eytan had gotten injured badly. Sam completed the mission without him, and then they met up back home when he had gotten better. On consecutive trips, Daniel and Alec joined them in their adventures, and that was how it became a yearly tradition. How did the mission affect their lives? Did the men keep up with the trips for long?
I loved the book's introduction, especially since I didn't have a hassle trying to get through it. I liked the book right from when I was only a few words into the first chapter. Eytan Uliel had innovatively included sketched maps that denoted the location and means of movement for the next mission. I liked how the characters developed gradually. Eytan used his writing skills to build empathy in me for each character. I understood their different characteristics and tones in the book. The author did not fail to include good jokes that made me cackle once in a while.
The most enjoyable feature of this book was the simple writing style used. It made it an easy and interesting read. While reading, I had also come across new words which I was able to look up for future use. I admired the bond the four friends shared with each other. Whenever one person needed help or had something bad going on, they would always show up for each other. My favorite character was Eytan, and this was not for any special reason except that I felt empathy for his character the most.
The only thing that irked me about this book was the constant seeking of male validation from fellow males. The talk about how manly this or that was. It was nothing too serious, but I did not just like it. There was nothing else I didn't like in this book.
This book deserves a rating of four out of four stars. I am awarding this book a perfect rating because I found it to contain content that I was interested in. The book was also exceptionally well-edited. This book would be enjoyed by readers who love adventure.
