Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
"Man Mission: Four Men, Fifteen Years, One Epic Journey" is the story of four friends as they travel around the world on different adventures, discovering themselves and the challenges it takes to be a man. Each adventure taken by the friends is governed by the ten rules of the "Man Mission Chatter." These annual missions allow the friends to take a break from their normal lives, deepen their relationships with each other, and reflect on the experiences of their individual lives as they navigate through love, marriage, divorce, parenting, and jobs.
What I like most about this book is how the author effortlessly shifts between the adventures of each mission and the personal lives of each character. I like how he goes into detail on weddings, choosing houses, jobs, spouses, and even high school achievements. I caught myself smiling a lot, close to tears at other times, and fiercely rooting for each character through the ups and downs in their lives. Each character had very relatable struggles, and I found inspiration in how they conquered and bounced back from their travails to live full and happy lives.
Another thing I liked about the book is how the author takes the reader on a journey through different countries, cultures, and traditions. From Australia where the characters are from, all the way across the world to Iceland and on to places like Spain, Japan, South Africa, Vietnam, Thailand, and other amazing countries. This book could expressly be the best travelogue I have ever read. It could also serve as a travel guide on occasion. The author writes in detail about places to visit and activities to engage in while visiting each location. He helps you imagine through excellent descriptions that were so vivid, I almost felt physically present with the characters at times, enjoying the sights and sounds of the places they visited. I especially felt this way when the author described the early sunrise in Machu Picchu, Peru.
The only thing I don't like about this book is that each mission was a bit too short. While the characters got into interesting activities, I feel the author could have elaborated a little bit more on each mission. Although they were all thrilling missions, the briefness left this reader wanting more from each of them. In its way, that could be a good thing and it takes nothing away from this book. I rate this book five out of five stars. It opened me up to new ideas on day-to-day living. I learned lessons on the importance of communication. The editing was flawless, and I found no errors while reading. I commend the author's editor for an outstanding job.
I recommend this book to travellers; there are so many wonderful ideas for places to visit. It is a great travelogue. I also recommend this book to married people; it contains valid ideas on how to deal with problems in marriage and even personal life.
