Review of Man Mission
The novel stars the protagonist of the story and his three friends, Sam, Daniel, and Alec. The theme of Man Mission was initially developed when the protagonist, upon meeting Sam for the first time, realized they clicked more than they thought and shared similar interests, one of which involved exploring various places and trying new food. It eventually progressed from just visiting for the food to more outdoor activities like kayaking, biking, hiking, and other sports in order to gauge their manliness. Along the way, they come to encounter challenges that, instead of demotivating them, only prompt them to do more. As they continue their adventures over the years, their personal lives also begin to change, and they soon experience what it feels like to start a family and be responsible for them.
We all, at some point in our lives, have wished to escape the struggles of everyday life and just live freely the way we see fit without having to worry about other things. In his coming-of-age adventure novel, Man Mission: Four Men, Fifteen Years, and One Epic Journey, Eytan Uliel brings that dream to life. It shows how, despite getting our dream jobs, most of us still crave living a youthful life full of new things. It explores the concepts of friendship, love, and adventure all at the same time.
I loved how the book portrayed freedom from normal, stressful everyday life, a dream that not everyone is privileged to make come true. Reading the book alone made me want to get up and explore the world more, try out new foods and new things, and gain new experiences. The book also portrayed friendships and love really well and showed that love does not necessarily stand as a barrier against living life to the fullest. A lot of work and research was obviously put into the making of the book. I also loved how at the beginning of the book there was a map that made it easier to understand all the places they traveled to and a summary at the end of each chapter that sums up parts that play a huge role in understanding the book but may have been missed.
There was nothing to dislike about the book, even if I tried, as it was exceptionally well edited and a fun read.
I give the book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars for the reasons mentioned above and would love to recommend it to readers interested in friendships, love, and adventures.

Thank you for this wonderful comment and yes, I do agree that it gets even more wholesome that it portrays itself to be so it gets even better than expected. Definitely one of my favorites on here.Bianca Morano wrote: ↑27 Apr 2023, 11:38 At first, from having read the plot of this book it sounds like a travel story by a group of friends. But as I go on there is more to it than just a wholesome story. It seems you can learn a bunch of other things, too.
