Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Eytan Uliel's Man Mission is a captivating and stimulating novel that I haven't encountered in years. Initially, I anticipated an autobiographical account, but to my delight, the book read like a work of fiction. It skillfully portrays the interplay between real-life dilemmas and our seemingly perfect lives.
This is a fascinating novel that chronicles the annual adventures of a group of four young people over the course of fifteen years. The story follows Eytan, the main character and narrator, along with his three best friends as they undertake various activities such as hiking, kayaking, and riding in different parts of the world. While the trips start as a way to demonstrate their manliness, they evolve, providing opportunities for the men to introspect and reflect on their issues. The book offers insights into the importance of male friendships and how they shape our lives, decisions, and perspectives on the world. As the characters progress through different stages of their lives, the adventures serve as a means of escape from their everyday lives, a way to challenge themselves physically and mentally, and a way to bond with one another. The novel's vivid descriptions, character development, and themes of masculinity make it a thought-provoking and captivating read.
One of the most impressive aspects of the book that resonated with me was the author's remarkable skill in immersing me in the world of the four main characters. Uliel's vivid descriptions of each country they visited were breathtaking, and it felt as if I was a fifth member of their group, experiencing the trips alongside them. His ability to capture the beauty of each location was exceptional, and even though I had never visited any of the places mentioned in the novel, I felt like I was there. The depiction of the deepening friendship between the friends as they went on each "mission" year after year was particularly moving. They supported each other through losses and hardships, without judgment or criticism. Overall, Uliel's writing effectively transported me to different parts of the world while also drawing me into the unique bond shared by the group of friends.
There isn't anything that I disliked about this book, but I did notice that the narrative had a few awkward transitions as it jumped back and forth. However, overall, the book was fantastic. The story adeptly explores the importance of friendships and how they shape the decisions we make and the direction we take in life. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free.
I gave the book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. This book positively impacted me by urging me to be more open-minded towards the experiences and struggles of men. It is a thought-provoking and inspiring read that I would recommend to anyone who appreciates adventure and travel.
