Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Riding through the African safari, kayaking and bicycle riding on Mount Fuji, and many more are some of the exciting adventures undertaken by the protagonist, Eytan, and his friends in the book "Man Mission: Four Men, Fifteen Years, One Epic Journey" by Eytan Uliel. It all started with a dream shared with a friend named Sam, who made it a reality as they got older. The main intention of this event, later referred to as the "Man Mission," was to prove their manliness and toughness. The Man Mission soon became a yearly tradition as more friends joined and more stories about their adventures grew, including near-death experiences and countless injuries. Eytan later got married to Racheal, and they soon had three children. Life was well and good as all his other friends got married, and with the burdens of marriage, the man's mission soon became an excuse for the men to escape from their families. This and other factors led to Eytan and Racheal's divorce. Eytan gets devastated, and his life takes a turn for the worse as he tries to hide his sorrow at work and soon becomes a self-help junkie. His sadness slowly gets brushed off as his friends try to cheer him up and start his life anew. He soon meets Sarah, and they start dating. His life finally gets better, but he struggles to move on.
This book will take you through a roller coaster of emotions as the characters undergo serious character development and learn more about life than they thought they knew as the Man Mission continues.
I like this book because it takes the reader on a travel journey to different countries and cultures, which is interesting. This is a fun book, as it is written in a way that enables you to relate to the characters while still being detailed and descriptive. This gives the reader a mental description of the setting of the novel and what the characters would look like. This and more make this book engaging and captivating.
The writer's ability to deliver a punchline when unexpected is the most loved, as you cannot tell what will happen next.
I could not find any errors in this book.
What I did not enjoy much about the book is that it repeats the same idea. The trip's idea is that only males travel, without any prior preparation for the activities they want to engage in while there, without family or phones, and with a willingness to risk their lives.
This may be intriguing for some people but may be uninteresting to others, especially women, as there are no instances of things that will interest most women while reading, thereby limiting the book to one gender.
Not minding the above-stated reason, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because the book centers on the value of stepping outside one's comfort zone, the importance of good friends, and the informative power of travel.
I will recommend this book to adults only due to some words used in the book.
This book constantly reminds readers that challenges can be overcome when we set our minds to achieving our goals. Overall, Man Mission is a must-read for anyone who enjoys travel, adventure, personal growth, and transformations.
