The first few words uttered by the narrator made me realize that this book is just what I needed for a change. A tale of adventure, family, friendship, and personal development, the book Man Mission by Eytan Uliel redirected my thoughts to the fact that even the silliest of ideas could be brought to life. The book tells the story of four Australian friends, who attended law school together, became professionals, and led normal lives. However, while in school, they planned to go on an adventure, do things they could never do as law professionals, and eat the most bizarre foods they could find themselves in. This idea came to life when one of them was allowed a vacation from his job and invited the others, particularly the narrator, on a trip to New Zealand. Hence, the Man Mission begins. After a terrible confrontation with drug dealers, the friends, unabashed, set out for more adventure. Every year, for the next fifteen years, they toured the darkest parts of exotic countries, getting themselves into unlikely situations and figuring ways to escape, getting back to their normal lives before things go awry. In this book, find out how these friends were able to outsmart drug dealers, lions, and so much more, paving their way out of messy situations only to return a year later.

This book intrigued me to a point of no return. Some funny happenings in this book made me laugh out loud to the extent of suffocation. The way the Australians got themselves in and out of messy situations fascinated me and aroused a deep feeling inside me to be grateful for life. The language of the book was simple and understandable. The author never seemed to run out of exciting ideas to keep the readers gasping for breath after a hard laugh. These friends took more risks than anyone I've ever heard of, getting out of one messy situation and plunging headfirst into the next. The book was exhilarating, fast-paced, and action-packed. The experience of reading this book will forever be etched in my mind.

I found nothing particularly negative in this book, although, it bothered me that women were not a major part of the story. However, that is not an actual fault, considering the title of the book. The book was simply structured, well scripted, and exceptionally edited; hence I have no negative reports about the book.

A positive aspect that I would love to bring to light is the way the author told the American dream in a fulfilled way. Everyone has a wild side, and exploring this wild side in a different country is more than it seems. The excitement amused me, and I loved the detailed description of the countryside visited by the Australians. I would love to check out those places myself, especially the Fiji Islands. However, I do not wish to be confronted by an angry lion on the South African mountainside.

This book was professionally edited, well-scripted, action-packed, and thrilling in every sort of way. It is one of the most intriguing books I've ever read. I am delighted to say that I found no specific errors in this book. All said and done, I am giving it no less than it deserves, a perfect rating of 4 out of 4 stars for the perfect book that it is. I truly commend the author's work. An experienced explorer himself, he did a fantastic job of putting familiar experiences into writing. This was a nice piece, and I look forward to reading more of his books.

I recommend this book to lovers of adventure. If you're interested in a story that resonates with the life activities of men, take this path and never look back. If you like a lot of action, adventure, and excitement, get yourself a copy of this book. And as I said earlier on, never look back.
