Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a story about fulfilling a dream of going all over the world mixed with personal stories of love, building a family, career, personal inner struggle, divorce, facing the aftermath, and making sense of life. He receives support from his friends for his desire to travel. Every year they plan to go to other countries and do biking, hiking, kayaking, and other traveling activities. Also, his friends and family support him in the difficult times shared in the book.
I like the openness of the story. Other than the traveling part, the story is very heart-moving. From a dating life, a happy early married life, and a slowly deteriorating marriage where Eytan shares how he becomes more workaholic to avoid frequent conflicts with his wife. He feels that something is not right, but he can’t express them the way he wants. The constant sex rejection from his wife becomes his alibi to find sex outside with a more understanding woman. The immorality that leads to guilty feelings consequently ends their marriage. The book ends with the life of heartbreak and the effort to find the cure. The story is relatable to some that go through the marriage issue Eytan shared in the book.
I see many profanity words along with their conversation, such as f*** and b**a**. However, my biggest concern is that the book has a Bible scripture at the beginning of every chapter, but it seems that Eytan doesn’t involve God or any Church community to help him with his struggles. Maybe Eytan is not religious, and I think the scriptures are a sign that he wants to make the God of the Bible personal in his life to help cope with his struggles.
I see the emotions and feeling of loss from not being able to share and express his thoughts earlier before the damage happened. He assumes that his friends got their act together and have a happy married life. At times those assumption has stopped him from opening up. However, I appreciate the openness of the story where Eytan shares his lust, his fall into immorality, and his devastating feeling of a broken marriage. Therefore, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.
I recommend this book to those who love traveling and can see ideas of fun and good places to visit. I also recommend that those who go through difficult times in marriage life can learn and make changes to save their marriage. Marriage life is not an easy one. I like how Eytan, towards the end, expresses his heartfelt apology for the betrayal he had made. He felt he could not speak to his wife in person, but his intention shared in the book is genuine. I like in the end that Eytan found his happy ending and was able to enjoy his life more.
