Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a fiction book that follows the story of four old friends who went to law school together. The author uses the first-person narrative. The narrator and his companion, Sam, start the first Man Mission, where they take a memorable and adrenaline-fueled trip to New Zealand. Daniel and Alec later accompany these two in the subsequent run of Man Missions. The gang always makes sure to choose a journey filled with challenges and excitement that lets them escape from the stresses of their daily lives and feel manly. The narrator also tells us about his life beyond the Man Mission trips, and we follow him as he falls in love, gets married, and deals with family life. Throughout the course of the fifteen years, the men visit different locations around the world, face some challenges, but also make some unforgettable memories and learn valuable life lessons.

This book was an enjoyable and humorous read that took me on different adventures. However, it was not just about the trips. The book addressed some critical issues, such as marital and fatherhood problems. Moreover, it also showed the flawed perception of society about how men should deal with their emotions. I must admit that, at first, I was a bit bored while reading about the different Man Missions and assumed that the entire book would just be about the group's many excursions. Nonetheless, it got more interesting when the narrator started talking about his mental health and showed us how his marriage developed throughout the years. Furthermore, the book showed us that the Man Missions had more significance than just travelling to an exotic place once a year.

Another thing that caught my attention was that the author did not mention the name of the protagonist throughout the entire book, and it was not evident whether this was intentional or not; however, it did not really bother me. I detected a few errors while reading; nevertheless, they did not affect the flow of the read.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I believe the minor issues mentioned earlier do not affect the rating. The book was fun to read with all the different trips and travels. In addition, the ending was satisfying, and the story was nicely wound up.

This read is one that I recommend to lovers of stories about travel and adventures, for they will find themselves engrossed in the various experiences and beautiful places described in the book. I also recommend this book to those interested in mental and spiritual well-being, as the book shows us the protagonist’s journey to inner peace. The book contains profane language, though. Therefore, I wouldn’t recommend it to readers who are sensitive to such content.

Everyone needs time away from their responsibilities. As these men discovered, those only increase with age and when a family enters the picture, they increase exponentially. I’m glad they could continue their friendship.
