Review of Man Mission
Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is an extraordinary book! It is captivating and also an adventurous book.
It centers on the lives of four friends. They are Alec, Sam, Daniel, and the main character. It all started on campus. The main character forms a friendship with Sam, a guy he presumed to be a spoiled brat. As they walked around the food fair, they tasted everything it offered. The main character shared his dream of going on vacation annually to exotic places with the sole purpose of trying out bizarre foods, hiking, and cycling. Sam was excited and thought his idea was genius.
Some years later, Sam called his friend and suggested they finally take the annual vacation trip they intended on campus years before. The main character welcomed the idea and agreed to it as he was overwhelmed with work and needed a break. With this, the "Man Mission" was born. After several years, all four of them participated in this ritual. The trip strengthened the bonds between them. They talked about their struggles and shared happy moments with lots of laughter and tears.
I enjoyed reading this book. The book was captivating, and I could not stop reading it until I finished. I learned many things as I read this book, like the seriousness of adulthood. It gave me a different perspective on how men struggle to balance relationships, marriage, fatherhood, and careers. All four men had so much fun during the vacation, and as the writer said, "Ego mixed with adrenaline will drive men to do crazy things." The book also gave an insight into different cultures in different parts of the world. In Fiji, when unannounced visitors bring gifts to the village chief, it is regarded as a sign of respect, and he accepts it.
Furthermore, the only thing I disliked about the book was the main character was unnamed. Apart from that, the storyline was easy to understand, and the choice of words used by the author will help to increase a reader's vocabulary. This beautiful story encourages people to always talk to someone whenever they feel overwhelmed with lots of emotions. Men do not talk about many unprocessed emotions, which could affect them in many ways. The book highlights the importance of friendship. It is good to surround yourself with the right people. I would recommend this book to readers who love adventures and also individuals that love to travel.
In conclusion, the book's editing is commendable. It was a good read, except for some grammatical errors I discovered in the book. The writer was exceptionally detailed in his writing. The writer was very descriptive, and I got a pictorial illustration of the places they visited. Therefore, I rate Man Mission by Eytan Uliel a befitting 4 out of 4 stars.
