Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Man Mission: Four Men, Fifteen Years, One Epic Journey, written by Eytan Uliel, is a memoir of a self-life story of adventure and one of the best non-fiction novels I've enjoyed and find most interesting to read about adventures. The author and three other of his friends were determined to travel around the whole world on an adventure, which could be a great, long, and laborious task, and they called the task "Man Mission." This journey started when they were in law school and continued for fifteen years, during which they were able to combine their mandate with other social life activities.
Eytan and his friends set out to embark on a long, epic journey as young men while in law school and to continue after visiting different countries for about fifteen years, corresponding to fifteen countries. Countries they visited include Australia, Spain, Thailand, South Korea, Vietnam, the USA, and Taiwan, among others. They were able to do this by setting aside one week every year for the journey, covering a country per journey by means of hiking (trekking for a long distance), biking (riding bicycles), and kayaking (sailing on a boat). Though not always palatable, they were able to meet different people, learn about themselves, and also handle the project together with other social life activities, including family.
The positive aspects of the book that also interest me are the simplicity of the author's storyline, which is concise and comprehensive while also engaging the reader. The author did a fantastic job of including a map before each chapter and, in addition, offering a quick overview of the geographic information of the area covered by each adventure. Everyone will find it enjoyable to read because the author took such care to avoid using any vulgar language.
From Eytan and colleagues, I learned that with discipline, every goal is achievable, despite how difficult or cumbersome it may be. I also learned that it pays to work together with peers who have like minds. I found that experiencing adventure exposes one to learning about others; it makes sense, then, that Eytan and his friends were able to understand themselves and individuals of all races as a result of their experiences experiencing adventure.
Though I enjoyed every bit of this book, one drawback, which I consider to be a negative aspect of it, is that there are six empty pages in between the written ones, and this affected my reading pace. I didn't find any obvious profane words. There are no typos or grammatical errors; therefore, the book was exceptionally well-edited. However, due to the already mentioned drawbacks of the book, I rate it 4 out of 5 stars. I recommend the book to those who love reading books about adventures, as they will find this one interesting, as well as travelers.
