Man Mission by Eytan Uliel talks about adventures pulled within 15 years by four men. Sam, Daniel, Alec, and the narrator designed rules to accompany their adventures. The rules were Whining was tolerated, and whoever whined the loudest was to wear a pink bracelet; it was for men only, and they didn't allow any luxuries. They would choose a place to go on an adventure and depending on the place, they would choose the type of transport to use. There are places where they would ride, river kayak, walk and hike. They called the adventures "Man Missions." One of the places they went was Tokyo in Japan; after arriving there, they had to ride to Niigata, which was 200 miles away. It was one of their rules of "Man Missions," so they had to adventure from one point to another. Each year they would choose a place, so they went to places such as East Coast, Taiwan; highlands of Southeastern Peru; Hawaii, USA; and Iceland to drive under the glaciers.

I liked the descriptive content of the book since it helped the reader have a mental picture of how objects looked like. For instance, the author described the shorts the narrator was wearing. They were bright yellow with a Tour de France team logo on their back in large letters. It helps the reader imagine how they appeared, trying to picture the look on the faces of people staring at the narrator, enjoying the story. Each chapter starts with a map showing the distinct things in that place, the layout, and the means of transport the adventurers used. It helped the reader have some knowledge of what to expect and the layout of the land to help them imagine how the adventure would be. Finally, the dialogue was up to the reader's expectations. It was mature and helped make the story lively.

There were no negative aspects in this book. Each chapter was like an episode of an adventurous series.

I rate Man Mission by Eytan Uliel five out of five stars. The book was professionally edited because it contained an error. The description of the events during the adventures was good since they enabled an easy understanding of how the adventures were and created images of how the events were. I liked the use of maps and other images to engage the reader in the adventures. All those aspects made the book worth a perfect rating.

I recommend this book to people who love adventure. The book's main storyline involves adventure; hence people who love adventure will find it charming. It explains adventures in different places, and the author explains each well.
