Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
For a long time, men have been thought of as being in charge of everything and displaying little to no emotion. However, here is a book where men are portrayed as merely human beings who experience joy, sadness, numbness, confusion, and sometimes overwhelming feelings.
Man Mission-Four Men, Fifteen Years, One Epic Journey by Eytan Uliel is a book divided into three parts, with each part consisting of five (5) chapters, making it a book of fifteen (15) chapters. The story of four men who travel for fun while attempting to balance other facets of their lives is told in the book. Their voyage was born when two young students talked about travelling on expeditions to various locales to explore wildlife. Their conversation later materialized in the future.
Did the adventure go according to their plans? To find out, read the book.
I like this book in a lot of ways. The book's plot intrigues me, and there was never a dull time from when I started reading it until I finished it. Instead, I developed a passion for and interest in this book. I adore how the author gave the characters authentic emotions. For instance, the narrator consistently voiced his fears and frustrations. Third, I enjoyed how this book focused on other topics, including family, marriage, and even career, in addition to the experiences. Because I was concerned that the book would just feature gruesome wildlife, it exceeded my expectations even more in reading it. My worries, though, remained unfounded.
I also adore how this book evoked my emotions; I experienced every emotion it contained. I cried whenever one of the characters experienced sadness, and I was also joyful when they experienced joy.
The author's use of chapter transitions in this book was another great feature that made it easier for me to comprehend what had transpired earlier in the story. Eytan Uliel used this strategy exceptionally well, even though it usually causes confusion. That wasn't the case in this book.
I must admit that I gave the unnamed narrator the name Eytan without giving it much thought. I like how the book was written in the first-person view. I enjoyed how the four men in the novel were portrayed as respectable and thoughtful men rather than the toxic masculine stereotype I had in mind for men. Last but not least, I appreciate that Sam's ankle was hurt in Japan and that he experienced every discomfort the narrator must have gone through when he was hurt. Sam got a taste of his medicine because he constantly acted invincible and blamed the narrator for getting injured. I give credit to the author for including that balance in the narrative. It appeared to be nature's way of punishing Sam.
However, I didn't find anything worth disliking in this book. On the contrary, I only had positive experiences while reading Man Mission- Four Men, Fifteen Years, One Epic Journey. I feel privileged to have come across this book.
The book was professionally edited. I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars because I didn't find any dislikes while reading the book. The book contained one or two errors but did not affect my reading. I am sure another round of editing will remove them.
I recommend this book to people who love adventures because it will give them ideas for their experiences. Also, for couples who are about to start a family together, this book will prepare them and help them understand each other's plight. I hope ladies and women refrain from considering the title of this book as a hindrance.
