Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Man Mission: Four Men, Fifteen Years, One Epic Journey, an annual adventure, started with two friends a few years after they graduated from college, and it is a weeklong adventure in any chosen exotic location agreed upon by these guys. The original idea was an annual trip to exotic locations to try out bizarre edibles. The third and fourth persons to complete the man mission team had joined by the third and fourth years, respectively. Within fifteen years of this adventure, they met drug dealers while hiking in New Zealand, got stoned drinking kava in Fiji, passed through a village with no single person living on it in Spain, had an encounter with wildlife in South Africa, lodged in a hotel used to host retreats for communist party leaders in Vietnam, visited the abandoned Incan city of Machu Picchu, Peru, and went ice climbing and experienced auroras in Iceland. Within the same period, each person worked to succeed in their respective interests, married and worked tirelessly to provide for their family. Each experienced family and work challenges, making the one-week adventure every year a time to rejuvenate themselves.
Man Mission: Four Men, Fifteen Years, One Epic Journey is filled with adventures in the wild and extreme environments and lessons in personal, family, and corporate living in the modern world. The explored topic included all areas that affect human lifestyles: family raising, vacations, entrepreneurship or job-hunting, and personal development. The main plot and subplot events are arranged and interwoven with each other. The fiction narrative is set in non-fictitious locations worldwide, making the whole story look non-fiction and believable. The conflicts relate to events and situations that anyone in real-life scenarios can encounter. These challenges include disagreements between parents and surviving outdoors in an unfamiliar environment. The author develops the main characters' personalities by telling each individual's backstory. The author did an excellent job of giving vivid details of the people, animals, houses, landscapes, and cultures encountered by these adventurous guys.
Eytan Uliel takes the reader on an emotional journey of humor, joy, thrill, surprise, anger, and sadness. At some point, I laughed so hard and, in another scene, was quite angry. The book is divided into fifteen chapters, corresponding to fifteen years of adventure touring around the globe. The map at the beginning summarizes the locations they had traveled to at a glance, and at the end of every chapter is a summary of critical points deduced from the chapter. This story is narrated from the first-person point of view, and the narrator's name is never mentioned, adding suspense and anticipation that his name will be mentioned at some point.
I loved every aspect of this book, especially the personality of the main character, who is easygoing, loves to try new things, and is a loyal and trustworthy friend who is sometimes explicit with words. In this novel, readers will learn about the people, their way of life, and the environment of the places mentioned in the book. I learned about a sporting activity known as white-water sledding, and I think there's something to learn for every reader of this book. I found nothing to dislike in this book and no typographical or grammatical errors while reading, and this proves that this book is exceptionally edited and deserves a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
This book is recommended to fiction and non-fiction readers who appreciate the author's vast knowledge of the places mentioned and a seamless combination of fiction narrative and a natural environment. Reading this book might give travelers insight and aid in choosing their outdoor adventure location.
