Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
The novel Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a tale presented over fifteen years that allows the reader to see the world via outdoor adventure, new thrills, and self-discovery. This book chronicles a man's desire for self-realization and self-discovery. It depicts the struggles of everyday life through the sometimes awkward, occasionally amusing incidents these men experience while on their trips.
At the start of their independent lives, Eytan, Sam, Alec, and Dan, who are in their early 20s and showing all the characteristics of young men in this age group, are introduced to us at college. Each year, they can come up with an effective plan for bonding and getting away from their normal lives. They find that going on their annual vacations helps them learn, grow, and generally become better people. The great ups and downs they experience strengthen their relationship even more than their shared love of adventure, which may be what helps them connect. In 15 years, these four immature young men take us through the entire planet: from South-East Asia and Japan to Europe and America, then Peru, South Africa, and, of course, their home nation of Australia. Along the trip, they'll meet new friends and experience both joy and sorrow.
It felt almost like I was a fifth member of the main characters' party, and I enjoyed how the author could make me feel like I was travelling with them. The author's remarkable ability to capture the beauty of each location was evident in the descriptions of each nation, which brought the words to life. Even though I've never been to any of the places mentioned, from New Zealand to Fiji, South Korea to Hawaii, I felt transported there by the descriptions and the way they were depicted. The representation of friendship and a sense of camaraderie amongst Sam, Alec, and Daniel—the protagonists—was another aspect I liked.
I wish that the book had been a little bit longer so that certain aspects of the plot, like Uliel's divorce and adjustment to singlehood, could have been explored in more detail. The portion seemed a little hurried and undeveloped. Other than that, it was amazing.
The book gets a rating of 5 out of 5 stars from me. As I've already mentioned, I found this book to be provocative (in a good way), as it encouraged me to be more accepting of the labours of men. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free. I can safely recommend this book to young adults and adults, as well as anyone interested in expanding their understanding of the demands that societal norms place on men.
