Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is an insightful window into guys’ journeys.

The book is about four Australian best friends who go on risky annual escapades for fifteen years. It tells us their funny but sometimes gruesome stories, which occur all over the world while keeping us on track of their lives, jobs, families, and all their drama.

This book is distinctive since it combines travelogue with fiction. In a seamless blending of reality and fantasy, Uliel transports the reader along for the ride—especially the bike ride—with Sam and Uliel, and subsequently Daniel and Alec. The settings and locations were all expertly portrayed, and the descriptions of the landscape in the pages gave the impression that you were reading a trip guide.

Throughout the course of the book, Uliel experiences significant growth and numerous changes. He feels compelled to discover his identity and his goals for the future, rather than just following social expectations. He develops as a man and gains knowledge of what it means to be a man in the modern world. This book will open your eyes to the realities of what it's like to be a guy in the modern world. There are a lot of stigmas associated with masculine emotions, and the demands society places on men can be oppressive and overpowering. Men need to feel confident in their ability to express themselves when they're unhappy, lonely, angry, or afraid.

What I really liked about this book is that it’s fast-paced and that I found it very enlightening to look at life from a man’s perspective. Also, I liked how the author drew a complete, live, and vivid picture of the adventures, I could tell that these journeys were written by a person who actually went through the same adventure and finished it in the same exact way, which helps you as a reader experience new and different cultures on a budget and with a high level of physical challenges.

Uliel, who is also my favorite character in the entire novel, uses characters to illustrate this idea. It gave me hope when he eventually learns to open up and communicate with his friends and family about his feelings and emotions, there is hope for our generation and future generations to have more open dialogs about male emotions.

I didn't find any negative points about this book.

I rate this book four out of four stars, and I found that it was exceptionally edited.

I recommend this book to middle-aged men and women, as I think they’ll find it a great book for a quick read, but also because it might inspire them to start a ritual of adventures on their own!
