Review of Man Mission
Eytan Uliel's Man Mission is a fictitious adventure tale. This is a book that is full of adventures of all kinds, some risky and some not so risky, but overall, the book helps the reader understand that a little adventure can serve as a great therapy and a relief from our hectic daily lives and also serve as a means to always keep our sanity in check. The book also explains how these getaways can help us [1] strengthen our friendships if we travel with our loved ones, [2] learn about new environments, and [3] understand that humans can adapt to harsh environments and can instantly develop survival skills in difficult situations, which serves to inspire a society that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
The narrator of the novel, Eytan, and his college buddies Sam, Alec, and Dan is introduced to us in the book. Sam and Eytan came up with the concept for the entire expedition when they were still in college. Sam gives Eytan a call one day while they are both at work and persuades him to take a break from his routine and join him on a hike in New Zealand. This is when the idea for the ritual first came to Sam. Sam and Eytan take a separate vacation to Japan on their second trip, when they just visit Tokyo to mountain bike. During their third and subsequent excursions, Alec and Dan are introduced as the group's newest members, and new rules are made, including the humorous "pink band rule," according to which the trip participant who complains the most is referred to as a "princess" and must wear the pink band of shame. In less than fifteen years, we get to go to different regions of the globe and observe how these guys may come together, find healing, develop, and gain knowledge from their perilous travels.
I adored the format in which the story was written. It was clear that Eytan Uliel is an adventurer from the way he described each trip and each conversation in detail, which made the book easy to understand and self-explanatory. It was also not difficult to understand the grammar terms that were used. There's also the cleverly crafted comical scenario. I appreciate how the author offers advice on how to constantly make life enjoyable, regardless of the situation we find ourselves in or whether we are married or not.
I disliked nothing about this book.
I gave this book a 5 out of 5-star rating since it has significantly widened my horizons. Also, I have no qualms with the book's plot or writing style. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free. I would love to recommend it to everyone who enjoys reading and a good comical or exciting narrative.
