- Latest Review: Man Mission by Eytan Uliel
Review of Man Mission
Eytan Uliel's memoir, Man Mission, recounts a personal adventure. The author is able to give detailed accounts of his adventures with three friends, which lasted from their day in law school to fifteen years later. The book teaches how to combat life's challenges to achieve one goal. After reading this book, I am almost converted to embark on adventures too. I feel you will like reading this book and will be grateful for it.
As young men in law school, Eytan and his friends decided to go on a protracted, epic voyage that lasted for an additional fifteen years after graduation. They agreed to visit a different country each year, and the fifteen years correspond to the fifteen countries they visited. They set aside a week each year for their trip, which has taken them to places like Australia, Spain, Thailand, South Korea, Vietnam, the USA, and Taiwan, among others. According to the author, they cover the country either by tracking (hiking), riding bicycles (biking), or by voyage (kayaking), lodging in tents on mountains or uncompleted buildings, and sometimes sustaining injury. But most importantly, they never give up as they enjoy their tour.
The author's use of a simplified English language in this work makes the entire narrative simple for the reader to understand, which is one of the distinctive features of the book that I appreciate and that also interests me more. The work is concise and summarized but contains all the information the reader needs, making it less boring. I think the book's majority will enjoy reading it because the author carefully selected his words and avoided vulgarity and other challenging statements. I also appreciate the maps that come before each chapter. Themes include adventurous experiences and Eytan's adventure memoir.
I learned from the book that one can actually achieve one's goal, despite how big or complicated it may be, once discipline is applied. I discovered that experiencing adventure exposes one to other cultures from around the world. I also realized that friends tend to learn themselves better when they engage in adventures like this. I realized that adventure is part of learning.
The book is fun, and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it, but the one thing that bothered me was the six blank pages that were interspersed between the text pages; this slowed down my reading. Nevertheless, for the already mentioned drawbacks of the book, I give this book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars[. I recommend it to adventurers. There were no glaringly profane phrases in the book's context. There are no typos or grammatical errors because the book was exceptionally well edited.
