Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
During their yearly trip, known as a Man Mission, four university friends make a commitment to one another. Alec, Daniel, Sam, and the narrator, Eytan, have been traveling on these arduous yearly excursions into the wilderness for fifteen years. The book includes in-depth descriptions of every mission as well as brief glimpses into how each guy changes and grows during his home life. These buddies continue to travel as time passes despite changes in careers, marriages, children, divorce, and loss. The protagonists fight to keep their enthusiasm and identity during mid-life crises, and the vacations end up being an escape from the problems of demanding work and families.
Man Mission, written by Eytan Uliel, is a fantastic and thrilling book that is equal parts travel journal and coming-of-age story. Each new setting for the Man Mission is so meticulously described that the reader feels as though they have had a vacation there. The trip journal portion of the book made me long to see more of the southern hemisphere after reading the lovely descriptions of Vietnam, Fiji, and New Zealand. It also brought back many fond memories of my own travel experiences. A male viewpoint on middle age was interesting to observe as someone who devours female literature. They genuinely manage the demands of their jobs, dating, supporting a family, and maintaining their relationship. All in a stereotypically masculine, slightly macho manner.
I found this book to be quite interesting, and I like the author's use of thorough diction. This book's storyline demonstrates how knowledgeable the author is about his subject. Maps of the locations the players were visiting were supplied, which I found to be a nice touch. This, in my opinion, added dimension to the narrative and made it simple to picture the events. This book's narration deserves high praise. The way the book is structured and how the characters' journeys are highlighted before they begin helped me grasp it. Another important aspect of this novel is the conversation, which I thought the author wrote with brilliance. The characterisation in this novel is yet another aspect I enjoyed. The characters in this novel had distinct personalities, believable relationships, and were, in my opinion, expertly written.
I enjoyed every page of the book and could not think of anything bad about it. The privilege implied might not appeal to all readers. Upper-class professionals make up the major cast. The women stay at home and take care of the family, but they have the money to travel the world every year with the newest equipment. Reading about their grievances about life may not be entertaining if you do not share their point of view.
I give this book a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 stars since it is a very enjoyable read full of thrilling travel experiences. It was fantastic, and I even sought out the author's other novels after finishing it. The book was exceptionally well edited, and I found no errors in it. The reader develops empathy for the main character as a result of their believable character development and how they handle the challenges life presents to them.
I'll suggest this book to anyone who appreciates being outside, going camping, going on adventures, and trying new things since they'll find it to be incredibly fun and realistic.
