I have a feeling that this book will give me a better understanding of how men's minds work. Maybe such adventures are what all men need to foster male bonding. Love the review.

A newfangled fiction that thanks about the travels of four friends in exotic places sounds interesting.

The story sounds real, but the book front matter says it's fiction. The narrator feels like a fun (and endearingly bumbling) character. I'm a woman, but I'm eager to rough it with this adventurous quartet.

What a great trip this book is going to be! Thank you for the great review outlining the composition of this book.

This book looks like a good method of both getting to know new places and getting insights into the male mind and relationships.

Even though this book is fiction, it sure sounds like a real story. It is a great idea for the four friends to go on vacation every year to another country. I think biking in Japan, kayaking in Australia, hiking in South Africa, and seeing the southern lights in Iceland all sound very adventurous and explorative. I am sure it would change their lives forever.

I have to admit I was skeptical when I read the name of the book, I thought this will not be something I will enjoy. However after starting to read the free peek into it I have to admit I will have to read the rest of the book so I can find out what happens.

Great review! This sounds almost like a guy version of chick-lit. The characters and plot seem well thought out and it sounds like a humorous and exciting book indeed.

This reads like a fascinating book on traveling. I can't think of a better way to spend my time than with friends while on a tour to a different place the world has to offer. Thanks for the wonderful review.

The book is also a candid account of a man’s viewpoint on many issues of life from relationships, marriage, fatherhood, career and everything in between.
Four men embarking on an annual men-only adventure sounds exciting. I also like reading about a male perspective towards life. Great review!

Normally, a book will either have the traveling part, or the family part. Here it's good that the author intersperses both, thereby increasing the suspense. Thanks for the review!

It sounds like an adventure from the very beginning. I like how the passion is included in their words. I like to travel so i will put this book on my "to read" shelf. :D

The sample of Man Mission makes it seem like a fun read. :lol: I'd love to read the entire book and hope to do so very soon.


My review of the sample is below:
