Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
The chronicle quests of adventures, cultural explorations, adult outings, local excursions, and mashups of journeys to chase after the adrenaline rushes to fight the mundaneness of the nine-to-five lives of four Australian guys are well-packed within this stunning piece of work. Eytan Uliel has written this novel entitled "MAN MISSION: FOUR MEN, FIFTEEN YEARS, ONE EPIC JOURNEY." This writing comprises fifteen chapters, divided into three parts: Beginning, Middle, and End. Each part covers a distinct phase of the journey, from the initial excitement to the challenges faced and, finally, the lessons learned. The story covers over a decade and a half and thirteen countries worth of plot.
The story is about two best friends—the narrator himself and a guy named Sam, who make a ritual to gather around and have a manly adventure. Eventually, they get joined by two other friends, Alec and Daniel, who join them later down the road to go on a fabulous, trivial, and exhilarating journey to a new destination every year. The story follows the multifaceted and complicated lives of the narrator, the main protagonist, and his friends' long road ahead in the fifteen years of their adult life. The narrator is a thoughtful and reflective individual, while Sam is the life of the party, always ready for an adventure. Alec is the voice of reason, and Daniel is the wildcard, adding an unpredictable element to their journeys. The narrative is rich with emotional depth, exploring the themes of love and marriage, midlife crises, relationship problems, and the intriguing exploration of moral and immoral pleasures. But what truly keeps readers entertained and amused is the book's clever touch of dark humour.
One of the most captivating aspects of the book is the author's skill in vividly portraying the unique atmospheres of countries like Japan, New Zealand, Fiji, Australia (The main characters' home country), Spain, Thailand, and South Korea. This rich cultural tapestry is a treat for readers, offering a unique and thrilling glimpse into these diverse locales. The author also deftly navigates the complexities of mature characters dealing with higher-level social and personal issues, infusing the narrative with a clever touch of dark humour. This exploration of mature characters and their problems from start to finish of this craft will leave you feeling intellectually stimulated. The book's focus on the characters' relationships throughout their pre-travel, travel, and post-travel periods adds a layer of emotional depth that readers will find engaging.
I am surprised that I do not particularly hate anything about the book. The grammatical errors were kept to a minimum. However, this is a personal observation that I would have liked it more if there was a less confusing way to divide pre-Man Mission moments in each chapter, which is already engaging in the current style. Considering the reasons for what I like and dislike about the book, I am rating this book a solid five out of five. It was a pleasing read for me as I have witnessed a daunted, dangerous and dynamically dashing piece of creation in the field of literature that deserved no lesser rating.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes movies such as The Hangover series, Due Date, The Inbetweeners Movie, and Travelling Salesman. The book could be better for someone who is okay with using slur language and is inappropriate for a younger audience. This title can be considered if you are searching for a quick escape into a world of snarky adventure, mature drama, and exquisite comedy.
