Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is unquestionably one of the best adventure books I've ever read! From the first page to the last, this novel kept me on the edge of my seat and drew me into the characters' global adventures. Eytan describes how he and his three closest friends come to a pivotal decision in their lives to take time off to rediscover their "manliness." This leads to a sequence of exhilarating, life-threatening, and occasionally absurd adventures.
The amazing story of friendship, family, purpose, and introspection that is Man's Mission With each journey, Eytan and his companions are forced to "grow up" and deal with the uncertainties of life, which causes various areas of their lives to fall apart. Will they grow as humans as a result of these difficulties? Alternately, would they lead them down the road to destruction? If you enjoy adventures that are full of adrenaline, pick up this book.
There are many good things about the book. Uliel writes in the first person, using straightforward language with comic undertones that kept me interested as I continued the protagonists' risk-taking escapades. The excellent characterization of the four main characters' archetypes is another noteworthy finding. Alec is the rebel, Sam is the outlaw, Daniel is the caregiver, and Eytan is the hero. The constant emphasis on friendship throughout the book—Daniel, Alec, Eytan, and Sam are close friends who stick by one another no matter what—also left me feeling quite happy. The author also does a great job of "humanizing" guys, emphasizing how simple it is to get sucked into the "rat race."
There aren't many drawbacks to the book, in my opinion. One apparent pattern is the marginalization of the female characters; Rachel and the "wives" seldom received any character or plot development. They are portrayed as uninteresting and haughty, which is the polar opposite of their spouses. The fact that the "Man Mission" became a drug for the primary protagonists is another drawback. As the overtly risky activities provided them with a "high" equivalent to intoxication, it became a means for them to escape their real lives.
I'd suggest this book to readers aged twelve and up who enjoy fiction, action, and adventure because it is unquestionably a page-turner. The absence of typos in the text demonstrates how expertly it was edited. I'll give Man Mission a score of 4 out of 5 star rating . This ranking is based on the author's skill at leading the reader on a voyage of introspection as well as the excellent storyline execution.
