While some people try to live their life in a way different from others, most people stick to the conventional pattern of life using their friends, relatives, neighbors, and parents' way of life as a standard.

In Man Mission, Eytan Uliel reports the adventure of four good friends who embark on an epic journey with the goal of avoiding the normal status quo of life. On this quest for fun and fulfillment which continued for fifteen years, they transitioned from boys to men. In their quest, they strengthen their friendship, discover new beliefs and cultures, indulge in a variety of activities and sports, and share the joy and pain that accompanies their adventure. At some point, they build relationships, start families, and establish their careers until things begin to get complicated. Setbacks, adultery, uneasiness, divorce, and other vicissitudes of life begin to invade their adventure for gratification. The quest for fun then turns into one of survival and escape from reality.

I commend the author for giving a realistic description of the places explored; this enables a reader to have a visual image of the countries visited. From the detailed description, I was able to take a sneak peek at their culture, food, and way of life. Also, the inclusion of geographical maps with the countries visited was an excellent approach.

The story was filled with courageous thrills, hilarious banter, quotes, and impactful lessons on friendship and family issues. Also, the author professionally weaved past and present events without confusion. Conclusively, he gave a precise report of distance covered, means of transport, time taken, and injuries sustained on each trip. These helped in making the story more relatable.

Besides the minuscule fonts that made the text difficult to read, I have nothing against this book. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. It was exceptionally well-edited, as I could not find any error in the book. It was indeed a job well done.

It is worth mentioning that the use of profane words is high in this novel. I recommend this book to mature readers interested in travelogues.

This is an appealing book on friends who took an adventure. The theme which was explored and most appealing to me is friendship. Thanks for the amazing review.

Nicely written. I've just read this book and I have to say I was impressed with the adventures these four friends came up with it; and for them to do it consecutively for fifteen years was wonderful. Audiences interested in adventure and travel would enjoy this book.

Men shouldn't only be limited to doing all the work and providing for the family. They should be able to have fun too and these friends didn't hesitate to go the mile in enjoying themselves. Nice review.

I just read this book and I learned something new. There are two sides to a story when a partner cheats in a marriage, though it isn't an excuse. Great review.
