In the narrative of Man Mission by Etyan Uliel, four close friends embark on an annual rite of traveling and exploring the globe by trekking, hiking, and biking several trails and fields; paddling and kayaking the open sea in the path of their macho expedition. The novel is divided into three parts, each with five distinctive expeditions and also a bunch of rules in the Man Mission charter. Each part of the novel is a different timeline of their lives as they age, from their twenties to their forties.

The detailed description of every event by the author made the novel imaginably comprehensive, and this was amazing because I could envision some of the trails in the Man Mission expedition bringing it to reality. The ability of the author to elicit an emotional response from the reader in the novel is something I acknowledged as I felt delighted reading through every chapter of the book. Also, to my greatest surprise, every digression in the book produced momentary suspense and curiosity that intrigued me to know what was next. That was also pleasing to me. Sam and Etyan's fear of a herd of cows in a rural New Zealand field while they were in their tent amused me. In spite of the numerous activities and difficulties they underwent in their lives, the friendship between the four friends in the book endured, and I found that to be appealing. In addition to being entertaining to read, the book taught me valuable life lessons. It made me appreciate friendships, the benefits of living fully, and the ability of time to heal. Despite Alec's career failures, he perceived and accomplished success in his business.

What disturbed me most about this book was how frequently vulgar language was used. Additionally, I think it's unfair that Etyan was the one who always ended up getting the pink bracelet on most missions. With the exception of the points I made above, I quite enjoyed Man Mission and would devote myself to reading it a second time.

Although I discovered a grammatical error along the course of reading this book and some coarse language, I still thought it was well-written and would give it a rating of 4 out of 4 stars.

Readers who prefer stories with adventure would find this book intriguing. I would also suggest it to fans of the comedy, friendship, and love genres since I firmly believe they would be captivated by each and every chapter of this book.
