Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Eytan Uliel's Man Mission is a book about four friends, Eytan, Sam, Daniel, and Alec, who participate in a "man mission" each year for a week. There was kayaking, hiking, cycling, and a lot more on these trips. Over the course of 15 years, the author provides in-depth descriptions of each location they visit or their adventures. The book is written by the author in such a way that, on the one hand, he talks about the trips they take and the places they go, and on the other, he talks about personal issues like their family or careers.
When they first started taking these trips while they were in college, it was just a way to get away from their busy, routine lives. However, as they get older, the trips become a source of stability for them, assisting them in resolving issues or simply making them feel a little bit more in charge. The author places an emphasis on the characters' maturation and the process of self-awareness and self-realization over time.
The author's focus on friendship was one aspect of this book that drew me in and was one of my favorite things about it. Man's Mission is one of the few books that, in my opinion, conveys the significance and meaning of friendship in a true sense. Each character develops their own life over the course of the story, becoming preoccupied with their responsibilities while still making time for their friends. How, in times when life does not appear to be going as planned, spending time with friends helps them feel better.
Through the four friends, the author is attempting to demonstrate to us that friends are an essential component of our lives and sometimes the only thing that keeps us sane when everything else fails. Another thing I enjoyed a lot was how the author gave each character traits that set them apart from the "normal" idea of what it means to be a man.
The author details the trips and adventures he and his friends have had, giving you the impression that you are there with them and going through the same things. After reading the book, I felt as though I had been there and experienced all of those locations.
There was nothing about the book that I didn't like, but one thing I think could be improved is that, in some places, more details and information would give the book more depth and help readers better understand some crucial aspects of the characters' lives.
This book gets five out of five stars from me. It was an amazing read that covered a lot of deep subjects while also being interesting. The book was edited professionally and did not contain any errors. I recommend this book to young adults or adults since the book addresses issues that people face in both young adulthood and adulthood, and the journey that the characters take toward growth, maturity, and self-realization is relatable and even motivating for all.
