Review of Man Mission
Posted: 18 Mar 2023, 04:13
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Author Eytan Uliel, Daniel, Sam, and Alec got introduced to a culture in college where they take time off and go on a trip. In this novel, Man Mission is narrated across a fifteen-year period, completed with a trip yearly. This bracket of time drives through the friend’s lifetime in school, getting married, having children, managing life, and even the darker passage of marriage life, which is divorce. To complete the mission, the buddies are able to travel across the world, all the way from New Zealand to Fiji, Hawaii, and South Africa. They participate in adrenaline-filled activities, and in regard to these, they come up with a man-mission charter to regulate their yearly action-packed adventures. While away on vacation, they find themselves in a really conducive, healthy environment where they are able to share and air their grievances with themselves in exchange for getting advice for their respective success and promotions at work, as well as tips for their marriages and parenting, including Eytan, who is on a phase and trying to find himself throughout the journey. This is a great bonus that keeps their friendship together as they evolve in their different facets of life.
The vivid description of activities in the book was what I rooted for. His explanation of the events in which they participated during the trip and the whole journey were out of this world. I could not stop painting an image in my mind. Some of the activities were intense. The image the author created sounded dangerous to me, but from his explanation, everything surrounding it with his buddies sounded fun. I appreciate the fact that the author exposed hidden gems, which by now I can't stop thinking about. They are on my bucket list already. I should have been their fifth buddy throughout the fifteen years. The work was really organized, and following it through was easy. I felt the book was engaging because every chapter opened with an annual objective that was pursued.
The only problem I had with the book was the strong language. The author is trying to make his writing more authentic and powerful. His expressions are real and accurate, and thus his strong feelings come through. This was a bit uncomfortable but did not prevent me from enjoying the exciting flow of events.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. I have no justification to deduct a star because this was a beautiful read. I did not notice any grammatical errors while reading through, making me believe it was exceptionally edited.
I would recommend this to young adults trying to figure out and balance their evolution and transition to adulthood. Props to the author for showing a whole side of men in society and how deserving they are of expeditions. This was a beautiful read!
