Review of Man Mission
Eytan Uliel's book, Man Mission, skillfully delves into the themes of friendship, travel, adventure, loyalty, adversity, and personal growth. Through its plot, the book portrays the lifestyle of modern men, who possess a desire to be brave and powerful in the face of danger, an insatiable yearning for thrill-seeking and adventure, and a tendency to ignore safety protocols. The story's message is clear: even in old age, nostalgia can fuel the desire to relive happier times, and the need for danger and adventure persists throughout a man's life. In essence, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of the choices made by contemporary men and the paths they take in life.
The story follows the tales of four men—Daniel, Alec, Sam, and the male lead—as they embark on a unique travel journey. The quartet, who have been close friends for a long time, spent fifteen years on this adventure, exploring various countries such as South Africa, New Zealand, and South Korea, and participating in thrilling activities such as hiking, biking, and kayaking. With each excursion, they age and face new challenges in their personal lives, such as work and marital issues. Will they be able to overcome these obstacles and remain together? To find out, get your hands on a copy of the book.
I was captivated by the tight-knit bond between the four men in the book. Their genuine concern and care for one another were heartwarming. The book strikes a great balance between humour and cooperation. Additionally, the book portrays the wives' community as supportive, offering women a sense of belonging. The book moved me deeply as I read about the struggles, worries, and challenges faced by these men. I was so engrossed in the story that I found it hard to put the book down. Each flashback in the book, whether it features the protagonist's friends or family, provides a unique perspective, adding to the overall suspense of the narrative.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and did not find anything to dislike. The humour throughout the book was particularly enjoyable, especially the set of rules that the men had created over the years. Despite their lack of athletic prowess, the men worked hard to complete their tasks, leading to plenty of complaints along the way. The book would appeal to college graduates, professionals, or entrepreneurs and would be of interest to both men and women. I would recommend this book to mature readers who are interested in gaining insight into male behaviour and thinking, as well as readers with an open mind.
I gave the book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars The humour in the book is exceptional, and I found myself laughing throughout the narrative while also experiencing a range of other emotions. The book delves into the common challenges faced by both men and women, making it relatable to a broad audience. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free.
