Review of Man Mission
Man Mission is a book about the journey of four friends from adolescence transcending into adulthood. In the beginning, the narrator met a new friend, Sam, at Law school and discovered that they shared the same dream. Their wish was to make a habit out of traveling to remote parts of the world to experience manhood through participating in adrenaline-inducing activities. They rekindle later on and they participate in the First Man Mission. During the first Man Mission, the narrator constantly beats himself up for attaining injuries. To both him and Sam, it was a sign of weakness. As the Man Mission grew, the other two characters showed interest in being part of the brotherhood, which took them to various places around the world where exhilarating adventures would unfold.
The characters go through different stages of life which they all share as friends. I loved how the author gave a glimpse of the characters’ careers, love lives and the relationships they share with their loved ones. When the narrator decided to stay at a job that made him unhappy for the sake of his family, I understood how difficult it is to be a man. This and many other instances portrayed within this book shed a light on the difficulties that men face in their lifetimes which they never share to protect their sense of self-worth. I can boldly say that I acknowledge men more after reading this book.
There were quite a handful of instances of profanity hence I recommend this book to adults, especially young men so that they may delve deeper and gain more insight on what it means to be men. Eytan Uliel’s Man Mission speaks to souls all across the world, men and women combined, as the challenges that men encounter throughout their lives affect not only themselves but the people around them, regardless of gender.
I travelled all around the world while reading this masterpiece. I was puzzled by how the author was able to vividly describe sites from different parts of the world through the usage of descriptive words. I felt like I was a part of every Man Mission trip because the imagery was unmatched. The author’s choice of words is what makes this book worth reading. I also love how the author included maps showing the different Man Mission trajectories, as per the specific destinations. The book is exceptionally written and I would not change anything about it. I am glad to say that I did not encounter a single spelling mistake nor did I come across any grammatical error, making this book deserving of 5 out of 5 stars.
