Review of Man Mission
I've always found the dynamics of friendship to be mysterious. How strangers may become friends and how lifelong friends can become family This incident is well illustrated in The Man Mission by Eytan Uliel. These young men, who had been adventurous in their youth, had met in law school and, through a series of events, tests of their faith, and a love of travel, had developed a close bond that had withstood many tribulations, allowed them to grow and develop, and had inspired them to be their best selves.
With Sam, a complete stranger who went to the same law school as them, they embarked on an experience that quickly developed into a strong bond, a vow, and a tradition. They created this annual custom of adventurous travel throughout the globe while sampling various foods at a food festival as a joke that resulted in the nicest memories. Sam, Daniel, and Alec, the three protagonists who established The Man Mission organization and are presently circumnavigating the world to uphold their commitment, were affected in a cascading manner by those occurrences. The young guys got a chance to hang out together and chat about their lives, difficulties, and errors while following the mission's charter, rules, and restrictions.
The book described the many locations in a very creative and vivid style that let the reader comprehend the nature and geography of each location they visited. Also, it provides suggestions about what to anticipate in each location, such as the sheep and cows they came across. I really enjoyed the quotations that were given at the beginning of each chapter. These were entertaining to me. Henry Ford once said, "One of the greatest discoveries a man can make, one of his big shocks, is to learn he can accomplish something he was scared he couldn't do." This is the quotation I find most inspiring. The maps in the book were very enjoyable. While I'm not positive of their veracity, they did provide a certain excitement.
While the font type kept changing throughout the book, the irregular text flow did not interfere with my enjoyment of the book and could perhaps have been a way to lend context to certain phrases and sentences. The book is fascinating and easy to read.
I gave the book a 5 out of 5 star rating. It was well edited and I could not find any typos or grammatical errors. I suggest it to anyone looking for an exciting tale that highlights real friendship as well as an adult audience interested in travel and adventure tales. Given that it includes some coarse language, I do not suggest this book for younger readers.
