This must be an interesting book going by your review. I love travelling and I'm certain that I will enjoy reading this book so that I can visit all those locations from the pages of Man Mission. This book is on my shelf; I will be reading it soon. Thanks for an interesting review.

A very nice book about adventure and commitment. I love your review. Thanks for it.

This is a nice review. First I hoped this book was about space because of the title but I was wrong about that...
When I read it was about 4 men I was a bit hesitant but your review makes me believe it might be an interesting book after all :) (I am too bored of the focus on man all the time in books).

Thanks for your review! I also felt as if I were having conversations with a very close friend while reading the book, and gave it 4/4 stars.

Before reading the book, I was also quite disillusioned with it, thinking it'd be about the usual machismo of men travelers. I had to change my mind though, because the book shows how detrimental it is to want to be a macho and have no emotions. I did not expect that, and I enjoyed the book quite a lot.

Hmm that sounds even more interesting. I like books where they break with traditional story tropes. Tropes such as woman need help, men are saviours etc. I am reading a book now with the tropes and it annoys me so much :lol: . There is a strong woman who falls in love with her old lover again because he forces her help on her and she realises she needs it, and thus him :doh:

From your well-written review, I think I need to give this book a read. I like the fact that the men are not made into caricatures and that the settings are realistic. Sounds like a great escape!

Your enjoyment of the book is quite obvious. The title didn't really call out to me but reading a book about regular decent men sounds like a welcome change. Nice review

Such a wonderful review on this fun book that kinda pulls on your heart strings a bit, and tickles your funny bone - in ways that a lot of people can understand. You also mention a lot of fantastic points about the book, which makes it seem all the better! Nice review!

What a unique and super interesting book, I find most parts of the book interesting, and I never for once took my eyes off it, when reading. I commend the author's expertise on this well-coordinated piece of work.
