Review of Man Mission
Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a descriptive autobiography that details the encounters of four male friends through crazy explorations in different countries. The narrator meets Sam in a food festival event, and a great friendship is instantly sparked. They both go to law school in college, where they hatch fantastical ideas of exploring different exotic places and doing 'manly' things. After graduation, their daily lives become mundane, and the daily routine of going to the office bugs them a lot. Sam suggests that maybe they should undertake a trip to one of those exotic places they always talked about all those years ago in college. Therefore, a crazy, thrilling and adventurous journey begins with visiting 15 different places where they do kayaking, sailing, hiking, and many more insanely unplanned activities.
Man Mission is a fascinating collection of three different parts that consists of various chapters. It is such an exciting book that captured my interest from the start. Also, apart from the crazy adventures of the four different friends, the narrator, Alec, Daniel, and Sam, other themes have been cleverly intertwined with the plot. This background information gives the book a more profound meaning: family dynamics, divorce, and friendship are constant themes. Despite having a picture-perfect life, the narrator is a miserable man who is deeply unhappy and discontent with his life.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the relationship between these four friends. It was deep and genuine. They teased each other all in good nature, but they did not hesitate when it came to having each other's backs. Also, their unpreparedness in some of the missions made everything more interesting. Seeing their different journeys on self-discovery was terrific. It was inspirational and very relatable to many readers. Their ridiculous rules on the Man Mission charter made me laugh.
There was not anything that I found disagreeable within this book. It was narrated in an understandable detailed manner that made it simple to form the proper imagery as I read along. Dealing with self-doubt, unworthiness, and anxiety problems gave the book that extra deepness that appealed to me.
I would rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because the author did an exceptional job. It is professionally edited, and I did not find any mistakes. I would recommend the book to adult audiences, especially those who enjoy outdoorsy adventures. It contains several instances of profane language, making it inappropriate for young readers.
