Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a 15-year adventure of four men. The anonymous narrator is joined by his best friends Sam, Daniel, and Alec. The narrator met Sam for the first time at his law school, and they talked about going on a carefree trip to countries, hiking, trekking, and enjoying their manhood. After three years, they were separated and preoccupied with their ongoing jobs. Sam finally decided to take a vacation and proposed it to the narrator. The Narrator and Sam began their journey in New Zealand, and later on, Daniel and Alec joined them. They marched through many countries, were exposed to various cultures and races, overcame obstacles along the way, managed their family life, and worked hard.

I liked how the author shows the map of their journey before the beginning of each chapter. It helps us understand the locations better. He also included a few Bible genesis quotes. This book contains a quote “It is very sad for a man to make himself servant to a single thing; his manhood all taken out of him by the hydraulic pressure of excessive business” by Theodore Parker. It summarizes the story of this book as how men were always preoccupied with work while their manhood faded away without them even realizing it. In this book, the texts explore many countries, including New Zealand, Japan, Australia, Fiji, Spain, Thailand, South Korea, and others. The story was never dull, and the descriptions of the locations kept it interesting to read. The protagonist’s family lives and jobs were also described back and forth between their journeys, which added a realistic perspective to their lives. The friendship portrayed in this story was natural, and the way they supported each other during difficult times, enjoyed their time together while on vacation; teased and joked with each other filled the narrative with love and fun.

There are no major drawbacks that I can think of. However, it was disappointing that the author did not reveal who the main narrator was until the very end. He didn't say his name, nor did he rule out the possibility that he was the main narrator.

I rated this book 4 out of 4 stars. The book was carefully edited. There are no typos to be found. As a result, I didn't deduce a rating. I gave it four stars because there aren't any major flaws. The story was both interesting and informative. The locations were depicted naturally.

I recommend it to adults who are tired of the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It will be a pleasant and unique experience to read this story. The depictions of the locations mentioned here create a fictitious experience of visiting them. It will be a relaxing experience.
