Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Have you ever felt as though your life is at a standstill? waking up daily to a normal routine every day? Well, living a normal life can be dauntingly boring.
Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a fiction novel that is divided into three parts; the beginning, middle, and end, with fifteen missions. The encounters have been narrated on a personal level. The encounter is between the author and his friends. They all have amazing families and careers. The author's first trip to New Zealand and Sam's conception came to fruition. They had come up with that idea in college. They then had annual trips, and Alec and Daniel joined. These adventures had a set of rules: it was a men-only trip, the biggest whiner had to wear a pink bracelet, they had to go beyond their limits, and what they did on tour had to stay on tour. The destinations they went to every year included Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Spain, Thailand, South Korea, South Africa, Vietnam, the United States of America, Taiwan, Peru, and Iceland. The activities they did include hiking, kayaking, trekking, biking, kayaking, and paddling. When reading this book, you will get to experience with the author what happened firsthand on every trip.
Eytan has started each adventure with a map of the place they intend to visit. This gives the reader an overview of the location and the neighboring countries, or better yet, neighboring continents. The brief statistics he has also included at the end of every trip include country, location, distance traveled, days it took, injuries, and accommodation. I've got to have a snapshot or an overview summary of the trip just in case I decide to go on a similar journey.
I also love how the author takes a break from the narration to describe or explain their personal growth, the pressures they endure in their lives, their friendship, how they decided to go on that particular trip, and their family situation. The use of quotes and bible verses was also catchy and I loved it.
The book does not only talk about travel, but it also narrates the struggles men go through with their families. When men meet, the stories of what they talk about change depending on the situation they are in; the highs and lows of their career, marriage, love, and parenting. At one point in Japan, their guide when they visited the museum told them to tell their families every time they visited that they loved and appreciated them. I will rate it four out of four stars.
The book was exceptionally edited, and the only fault I found is that the PDF copy I downloaded had 2300 pages; 361 pages were printed, and the rest were blank. But this did not stop me from enjoying the book because it was well written.
I recommend this book to those who like to travel or adventure and anyone who loves stories that resonate with our daily lives.
