Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a 362-Page novel divided into three parts of five chapters each, with each of the book's chapters beginning with a manly quote, a Bible verse, and a map of the "Man Mission" destination.

What started as a fantasy in the law school became an annual adventurous event and later a getaway from family demands and work stress. Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a story about four friends: Sam, Alec, Daniel, and the narrator. Several years after school, Sam called to remind the unnamed narrator about their law school fantasy. That call marked the beginning of what would later become an annual event for the next fifteen years that journeyed through New Zealand, Japan, Australia, South Korea, South Africa, etcetera. What then is this fantasy?

This novel has a lot of positive aspects. Firstly, I like the structure of the book, most especially how the author perfectly alternated between the past and present events to give readers an insight into the family, work, and "Man Mission" experiences of the four friends.

I found the novel research-provoking, informative and educational as I had to, on many occasions, pause my reading to use the Google search engine to verify some of the information in the novel. For example, I had to find out who Donald Duck is and how he speaks, if there are no wild animals in New Zealand, and if bullfighting was invented in Rhonda, Spain, to mention a few.

Furthermore, I think readers would find the story very fascinating and easily relatable as it mirrors our day-to-day activities at home, work and travel experiences. I especially like the character of Sam. He was not only filled with life but had a perfect sense of humour.

Though the events at the "Man Mission" became monotonous and made my reading boring at some point, the humour and play among the friends kept my focus and my reading enjoyment. Also, I discovered that the book is professionally edited, as I found only two typo errors throughout my reading.

I found no substantial reason to deduct any star from the novel's rating as I found it highly informative, educational and refreshing. I, therefore, give Man Mission by Eytan Uliel a perfect rating of four out of four stars for the reasons mentioned above.

I recommend Man Mission by Eytan Uliel to lovers of travelogue and adventure books. It would also be appealing to readers interested in the themes of friendship and who do not mind profanities.

I have read and reviewed this book. The book was an eye-opener for me about the world of men and how society sees them as strong genders with no atom of vulnerability in them. Thanks for the wonderful review.
