There is something about personal stories and memoirs that I find very interesting. These stories can teach one about life and help one organize his life in a better way. There is a saying that experience is the best teacher. However, it must not be your own story, and it can be another’s story. The fact remains that we can learn from another’s life journey. Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a book that presents Eytan’s life travels and how they helped him find purpose and shaped him. This book focuses on four friends: Eytan, Sam, Alec, and Daniel, and their fifteen-year trip to different countries. Lifetime friendship can be built in a day, but it takes years of continuous relations to be stronger and more binding. These friends started a yearly journey and, for fifteen years, kept to this promise of a yearly vacation. What then became their stories? What then became of this friendship?

It is a well-known fact that any relationship that lacks communication is susceptible to failure. Love is always strengthened by your presence. In other words, when one is out of his lover’s sight, there are chances he/she will soon be out of his heart. But what of situations in which there is communication but love fades? Does it mean the communication was not good enough to sustain the love? The problems of love, faithfulness to friendship, and maintaining relational ties remain totally unpredictable. However, it would not be wise for us to stop relating just because we fear losing a friend. In this book, the author heightened my awareness of the importance of friendship ties. The book made me wonder what really unites friends, regardless of their individual struggles and hard work. However, I loved the author’s presentation on friendship and how these four friends found meaning in this yearly vacation.

The book is phenomenal, but the author’s narration style was a little plain as the vacations seemed to feature related events. I did not like this aspect of the book.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 because the story kept its excellence regardless of similar events. The author’s narration of the personal stories of the four friends was indeed helpful in understanding the reasons for their actions and reactions. The book is also engaging and splendid.

I recommend this book to individuals who enjoy reading memoirs and stories about friendship. The book also shows the power of journeying, and thus, the book is suitable for voyagers.

Man mission is an interesting read. It is sort of a travel log and it was fun reading about Eytan and his three friends on their adventures. Thanks for the lovely review.

Sounds like an interesting read. I love vlogging and I can imagine the fun the men had on their missions.
