Latest Review: Man Mission by Eytan Uliel

Post by busisiwe5754 »

I am interested in how the Halloween costume turned into "controversy". I am glad that the author explores the issues of racial stereotypes because that issue is affecting everyone around the world who is of colour. In South Africa, we recently had a racial issue, where children of colour were attacked because they wanted to swim. The suspects were charged and taken to court but the families of these children are still traumatized. We cannot change the colour of our skin but we can change how we see each other. We are all human beings created in God's image.
Thanks for the interesting review.

I dislike boring stories but as you say halfway through the story started to be interesting I might like to try it thank you.

It seems a simple faux pas to wear something inappropriate. Ian and Troy learn just how far a "small" indiscretion can go when people are willing to take it that far. Thank you for your review!

I love books where the plot develops at a slower pace. I am positive this will make a good read. Your review was a delight to read.

I wonder what type of outfit they could have worn to warrant this. This will be more recommended for young adults. Thanks for an honest review!

The slow pace of the novel can get boring at times but if it is used effectively to develop the characters it contributes to the success of the novel. Sometimes things done with harmless intentions can get pretty controversial and sometimes get hurtful for a particular school of thought. Thanks for the review!

I believe this book would have been a bit tense if there are no satire and humor in it. I also enjoy a book with a well-developed characters has this; it will help the readers to follow through and pick their favourite characters well.

I wonder how these two young adults will get themselves out of this dangerous situation. It’s a pity the book started out so slow.

A Halloween costume that stirs up controversy is an interesting topic. I am curious to see how Troy and Ian deal with the protesters, militants, and reporters, all clamoring for social justice. This is an interesting topic so congratulations on BOTD.

I find the premise of the book creatively done. Reading the book, I couldn't help but winder why a simple costume would challenge an establishment. Thanks for the thorough review.

This book starts off light but the storyline progresses to something more serious. I like that the book highlights important social issues. It's good that despite having a slow start it progresses well. Congratulations on making book of the day!

This is not a book that I would be interested in, but the review does make it seem like a good read for anyone who is interested. The review makes this book seem well thought out and intriguing.

I didn't expect the book to address social issues like racism but am glad it did. I also think this book suits me and other college students since it might be easier to relate to Troy and Ian. thanks for the great recommendation. Congratulations on BOTD.
