Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Man Mission is written by Eyton Uliel and follows the adventures of the protagonists; Eyton, Sam, Alec and Dan following their many trips around the world. The group met at college and instantly bonded with one and the other. However, the fun was short-lived when they left college and gained relationships and families, finding it hard to meet up. Once a year, they decided to bond and embark on a vacation, which is where man's mission begins, lasting almost 15 years.
This fictitious book focuses on the story of the author and his three friends and how they end up on a vacation. This happens every year. The many locations they visited included; South Korea, Thailand, United States Of America and Iceland. During their time on these trips they engaged in many activities including kayaka, climbing etc. While embarking on the adventures of a life time, they confide in one and the other and discuss their many struggles they are facing while adapting to adult life and how different it is from their younger years. The book also explores many themes within his adventurous book including marriage, raising children, and the difficulty of men trying to manage their parenthood and working life.
Man Mission is a great nod to the adventurous genre. The characters written in the book are well developed and their back stories are described in such depth that they are realistic. I like that. Also, the author describes the many problems that men face after child birth. I like this because we must remember that men go through post natal depression too, and not just women; therefore I like how the author has raised that point and included that theme within his book. Each chapter of the book opens up with a significant quote that is chosen from the bible versus. This is a good way to open up each chapter and draw in the attention of the reader. I like how each verse is connected to the chapter, which makes it more realistic. The author includes flashbacks within his book; this hooked me as a reader because it helps picture the author and his friends life and how they have changed from young adults to adults. The descriptions that are used by the author are exceptional and help to visualise the many scenes and what the characters look like. For example, taken from chapter one, 'wild blond hair'. This phrase may seem bland; however, it helps to visualise what characters look like and allows you to understand the different characters and their key characteristics.
There isn't much I dislike about the book. The story of the friendships were told beautifully. However, I did find some slight profanity, but this did not stop me from enjoying the book. The book seemed to be well-edited; therefore I remain convinced that this book is professionally edited. I did not find any errors.
The book was exceptionally written. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I did not find any obvious reason to deduct any stars from the overall rating. I do find that this book may be suitable and most appealing to adults, especially males, as it focuses more closely on males and the struggles they might face during their adulthood.
