The blurb of the book really drew me in. The concept of four men figuring out the ups and downs of life together drew me since life isn't easy for anyone. The adventures in the book are fun to read about, and the emotions of the characters keep us hooked.

The book starts with Eytan Uliel meeting Sam when his best mates Daniel and Alec wouldn't come along with him to the Food Fair. At first, Eytan had thought Sam was going to be an arrogant man, but all four of them ended up being close. During law school, Eytan and Sam had talked about a fantasy of going on an annual vacation to exotic locations. Years later, Sam brought it up again, and Man Mission was born. The first two trips, which were hiking in New Zealand and cycling in Japan, only involved Sam and the author. Later on, Daniel and Alec also joined in. While their annual vacation continues, we get to read about their lives and how they are forming their own path and finding happiness.

What I like most about the book is the depth given to each and every character. The struggles the characters face during life are an accurate representation; Something everyone can take inspiration from. The author has also added a summary of each of their vacations after the vacation. I enjoyed reading the book from start to end. The dialogue was amazing, and the humuor weaved into the novel very well.

There is nothing I disliked about the book. Every problem the protagonist was faced with was solved by him in a realistic way that made me feel nspired. The author talked about feelings of depression throughout the story and his life, and it gives me hope that there's always more to hope for.

I did not find any errors in the work. The book does have a lot of profane words, so this book is for a mature audience. The work does deal with a few serious topics such as depression, grief, death, and many more, but such is life. That's another thing I loved about the memoir. It was a mixture of everything.

I would rate Man Mission by Eytan Uliel 4 out of 4 stars as it was a very pleasant read. I enjoyed the thrilling tales and the serious discussions about life. The book brought a smile to my face in various instances. I would recommend this work to adults who enjoy travelling and adventures.
