Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a novel that covers the adventures of four close friends. The narrator describes how he first met Sam at the start of the book. He was searching for a companion to go to the food fair while on campus. Sam offered to go because his two close friends, Daniel and Alec, declined, and this is how they got to know one another. Sam expresses to him his yearly ambition to travel somewhere new as they begin to exchange ideas. The narrator concurs with this because he had a similar thought.

Three years later, the narrator is employed by a Sydney law company. Sam gives him a call one day and fills him in on the adventures they have been longing for ever since they were on campus. They settle on making their first trip to New Zealand's South Island. The Man Mission got off to a rough start. Over time, the friends travel to a variety of locations, including South Africa, South Korea, and the USA. Are you curious to learn about their amazing experiences in the numerous places that the friends traveled? To learn more, read this book!

By telling the story from a first-person perspective, the author did an excellent job. I had the impression that I was in the story due to this. I even felt like I completely understood his mistakes and felt sorry for him after reading from this point of view. Because the author has portrayed the events in such detail, the entire plot is intriguing. I have gained a great deal of knowledge about various cultures, particularly the Japanese and Hawaiian ones. The book has even made me think about visiting various places when I finish my campus studies.

There is absolutely no single aspect of this book that did not appeal to me. The writer's writing is excellent. I enjoy how frequently the friends crack each other up during their interactions. The incidents are also humorous; for instance, when they were camping in New Zealand, the narrator used a can of beans as a weapon to protect himself. As I read this, I smiled because, truly, which male would do this? The friends were hilarious in their emails to one another, especially Sam's. The educative and funny descriptions, as well as the inclusion of maps of the places that the friends visited, are the reasons I award the book a rating of five out of five stars.

I did not find any grammatical errors in the book, and I therefore believe that the book was professionally edited. There are also bible verses and quotes from popular people included that really fit well with the events being described. I believe that the word of wisdom from Mr. Takeda about how to keep relationships will stick with me. I urge everybody who enjoys adventure to read this fantastic novel. The novel contains details about the ups and downs of the characters' marriages, which gives me the impression that young people who are about to be married may find value in it.

We are on the same page regarding travelling. I do love adventures and I'm also planning to start travelling after campus. Thanks for the comment!

I have read this book and really enjoyed it
Your review is very expressive
And I understood man mission rules, despite my disagreement with some of their view of responsibility, but I understand the desire to take a break, even for a little bit.
Wonderful review

Is this book more directed at the male audience? Or both? Sounds a perfect book for young adults looking for adventure! A year travelling should be mandatory before starting a career ahah

This sounds like a great book full of adventures. I chuckled at using a can of beans as a weapon. I live in NZ and must say that baked beans (on toast) are a popular breakfast haha. Thanks so much for a great review!

The main characters are the four male friends. Sadly, they left their partners back as they headed to their planned destinations... Females too can go to trips together, haha...

Hi Jeff, we're in perfect agreement about this book. My review matches yours. We (men) definitely need more books of this kind. I agree that people about to get married would benefit from reading this.
