Man Mission by Eytan Uliel tells the story of four friends: Eytan, Sam, Daniel, and Alec. Having always wanted to explore the world and make the most of his life, Eytan one day shares his dream with his friends: to spend one week a year traveling to various places, diving into intrepid adventures. As the four men graduate law school and get settled, they start on their Man Mission. They ride bikes from Niigata to Tokyo in Japan, kayak the Murray River in Australia, hike in Andalusia, Spain, and live through many more adventures, one week, every year for 15 years. But as the years pass, each of the members has to overcome their own hurdles in life, dealing with the burdens of being an adult, getting married, getting a job, and even losing one or two. Though nothing comes easy for them, the men stay determined to achieve their goals and not give up on Man Mission.

The story is told from the viewpoint of Eytan, giving the reader a man's perspective of the world and its challenges. A factor that I greatly appreciated is that even though the majority of the story is filled with thrilling, action-packed adventures, it is also replete with a romantic, dramatic ambiance, making it appealing to a wide range of audiences. I liked how each journey was presented to the fullest extent by highlighting each country's culture, language, and beauty, bringing the adventures to life and making you feel as though you were there. In addition, the character development is commendable. Each man is relatable in their own way, and the backstory is well-supported so that the reader can create an emotional bond with them. Through the bond created many life lessons are taught.

My only complaint is that the more the adventures continue, the more cliché they become, doing the same three activities for many adventures, cycling, kayaking, and hiking. I wish there were more adventurous activities.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars, as even without any significant plot twists, it was still a very enjoyable read. Seeing life's challenges through the eyes of a man is both eye-opening and riveting. A well-written story that shows the bond of four men and how they can overcome anything, together. This book also has no grammatical errors, it is professionally edited.

Due to the excessive vulgar language and erotic content, this book is recommended for young adults and older. It is adventure fiction. There are one or two biblical scriptures at the beginning of most chapters.
