Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a book detailing the epic journey of four friends over approximately fifteen years. The four men met while in school, and during one of their conversations, they planned to take a trip. However, they forgot about the plans after leaving school. One day Sam calls the protagonist and proposes they go on the proposed adventure. For the first two trips, only Sam and the protagonist could attend, but Alex and Daniel eventually joined in on the trips. The trip became an annual event that occurred for fifteen years, and they named it 'man mission.'
Throughout these journeys, the men experienced various aspects of daily life, such as changing jobs, getting married, having children, losing loved ones, losing jobs, divorce, broken engagements, and infidelity. The trip became a form of escape for them, where they could discuss the mundane aspects of life, like work, home renovation, sports, kids, and upcoming man missions. The book exposes the struggles of men and how they handle these challenges, offering better ways to cope with such problems.
One aspect I particularly like about the book is that it provides valuable lessons about life from a man's perspective, including how to handle career changes, family matters, financial fears, guilt, and more. Each chapter concludes with vital statistics of the missions, including information about the countries visited, locations, mode of transportation, distance covered, time taken, accommodation, and injuries sustained. This information will be helpful to readers planning their journeys to these locations. Additionally, I appreciate the strong bond of friendship among the characters and how they are there for one another in times of need. Overall, the book offers numerous positive takeaways.
However, a downside is that the book is written solely from the protagonist's point of view, limiting readers' ability to feel the emotions of other characters. More insight into their feelings and perspectives would have been good.
Despite this minor flaw, I find the book exceptionally well-edited, as I could not find any errors. Therefore, I give it a 5 out of 5 stars rating. The mentioned dislike does not diminish the book's quality in any way. I believe men of all ages will find this book helpful and valuable. I highly recommend it to men interested in personal growth and self-improvement. Additionally, I think the story would make for a compelling movie, and I suggest that moviemakers consider adapting it.
Eytan Uliel is an excellent writer, and his book emphasizes the importance of men expressing emotions openly, contrary to the popular belief that men should bottle up their feelings.
