Review of Man Mission
A story that makes you think and value what you have, The Man Mission is focused on friendship. It is the ideal book to receive a score of 4 out of 4. It's a book that chronicles how some pals agreed to meet yearly for an occasion they call "man missions."
While they are both on campus, Sam, a student whom the main character initially thought was an arrogant brat, becomes his friend. Sam, Alec, Daniel, and the narrator went on adventures as part of their "annual Man Mission travels," according to the author, Eytan Uliel. The first man's mission starts with Sam and the narrator traveling to New Zealand, even though the narrator initially doubts it is conceivable. After the first mission, he proposed to his fiancée, Rachel, and they later wed. The second mission was to Japan, where they participated in various outdoor activities. They traveled extensively over their fifteen-year annual vacation. They gained knowledge of various cultures and ideas, learned about their strengths and shortcomings, and developed an appreciation for nature due to their travels.
It is noteworthy how freely the characters converse with one another. The reader can sense how much they love one another through their chats. The mission guidelines are also absurd, amusing, and provocative. When you pick up this book, its attractive cover is what you will notice initially. Its vividness catches the eye. My interest in the book increased as soon as I viewed it. I adored how the author told the narrative via flashbacks.
The main character muses over the opportunities lost, resources wasted, and lessons learned after each journey. The book is presented from his point of view, and the story jumps between the present and the past as some of the life lessons relate to his personal experiences. Given the specifics of each location, I question if the author is writing from personal experience or in-depth cultural research. In any case, this component of the writing was quite fascinating. Even when they are hurt or have a terrible experience, I am in awe of their tenacity throughout their trips.
The thing I disliked about the book was the unnecessary quotes each chapter contained. I liked that the protagonist's name was mentioned once throughout the book. It made the book unique compared to other books out there. I recommend this book to people who love reading about travel and adventures. The book was neatly edited. I didn't spot any errors.
