Review of Man Mission
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is the fascinating journey of four Australian men - Sam, Daniel, Alec, and the author. They decided to take a weeklong trip together every year. Two of the friends planned the original trip out of boredom with their legal careers. With little planning, the two embarked on an ambitious trek in New Zealand. They quickly discovered that neither of them knew much about hiking or camping. One of them suffered a twisted knee and was rescued by a group of drug dealers. The first mission ended in tragedy.
They made the trip an annual tradition, and they were later joined by their other two friends. This custom lasted fifteen years. They established ground rules, and each trip was an adventure. Hiking, biking, and even kayaking are all part of the annual missions. These friends visited places such as Vietnam, Thailand, Iceland, and even Africa. However, as time passes, they face real-life challenges such as dealing with family, career changes, and even affairs. How do they deal with these issues while still making time for their missions? To find out, read this book.
I like how this book is more than just a human-interest story. It captures the feelings of friendship, bonding, and camaraderie. The annual trip allows the men to strengthen their bonds with one another while also sharing personal experiences with various life issues. I also enjoyed some of their experiences on these trips, even though some of them were dangerous. I also like how detailed and descriptive the narrative is. It brought the scenes to life for me. It was also enjoyable and interesting to read because it was simple. This book, I believe, will open the eyes of those who believe that adventure is a walk in the park.
There are a few things in this book that I would have done differently. For example, even though the trip was essentially an annual vacation for the men, it should have added more value to them in some way. Something that became a yearly tradition for them should have been more meaningful, in my opinion. Though the characters did change in some ways through the years, these changes could not be easily attributed to the trips.
I rate this book four out of five stars. The story was vividly told, and the characters were interesting. It was also well-edited, as I found no mistakes. It would have been ideal if the trips had been more enlightening.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a well-written adventure story. It may appear to be a book for men, but women will enjoy it as well.
