Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
The captivating narrative of Man Mission by Eytan Uliel chronicles the yearly exploits of four individuals, namely Daniel, Sam, Alec, and the author, as they embark on a seven-day global adventure for fifteen years. During their escapades, they partake in a diverse range of activities such as hiking, biking, kayaking, and more. The book delves into the concept of masculinity and the pressure men experience to conform to societal expectations of manliness. The themes explored in the book include love, adventure, struggles, friendships, and most significantly, self-discovery and the courage to confront life's obstacles.
Part travelogue, part memoir, this book recounts the lives of four men over fifteen years as they embark on annual adventures across various countries. The idea of such explorations was conceived during the author's college days when he and Sam discussed the thrill of exploring new destinations, indulging in outdoor activities, and trying local cuisine. They eventually convinced Daniel and Alec to join them in their escapades. The friends visited several countries, including but not limited to New Zealand, Fiji, the USA, Iceland, Japan, Vietnam, and South Africa, and encountered diverse experiences, such as facing a roaring lion in South Africa and dealing with drug dealers in the New Zealand jungles.
The author's captivating writing style makes the story easily comprehensible. Through a comprehensive account of their journeys, the author details everything from the awe-inspiring natural landscapes to the challenges they encountered on each expedition. The author's vivid descriptions draw the reader into the book, making it difficult to put down. What's more, the author's attention to detail is admirable, with each experience documented in great depth. I especially appreciate the author's inclusion of mission statistics, which provide a concise summary of each adventure.
The book is a joy to read, owing to the author's captivating writing style. There is nothing to dislike about it. The book's underlying message stresses the importance of friendship and the great outdoors while also emphasizing the benefits of stepping out of one's comfort zone and taking on new challenges, which can lead to personal growth and self-discovery. I highly recommend this book to anyone struggling with emotional expression and self-identification, as well as those who enjoy adventure and having fun.
I gave the book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars as it was a truly enjoyable read, thanks to the author's exceptional writing skills. The book not only captures the essence of travel but also provides valuable insights into the societal pressures that men face. The book highlights the fact that men are often constrained by their gender roles, which do not allow them to express their multifaceted personalities fully. The book also touches upon the friends' personal lives over the past fifteen years, including their marriages, children, and career advancements. Through these experiences, the friends went through a process of self-discovery, which led to personal growth. Moreover, the book was exceptionally well-edited, and I did not notice any errors or mistakes, which made for a seamless reading experience.
