Eytan Uliel's novel, Man Mission, is a thrilling work of fiction that explores the perennial struggle for masculinity and the desire to escape harsh realities. The book prominently features themes of adventure, friendship, bonding, and what it means to be a man. By drawing comparisons between early man and modern man, the novel challenges conventional notions of manhood and highlights the contrast between the two.

This piece of literature follows the journey of four friends - Sam, Daniel, Alec, and the narrator - who, upon graduating college, yearn for something more than the expected societal roles imposed upon them as men. The concept provides an escape from the harsh realities of life. Initially undertaken by the narrator and Sam, the others eventually join in. Their travels take them to various countries, including Japan, New Zealand, Fiji, Vietnam, Iceland, Thailand, and South Africa. Throughout their journey, they encounter physical, mental, emotional, and psychological challenges while indulging in diverse cuisines and engaging in activities like hiking, kayaking, and biking.

This book has served as a valuable eye-opener into the world of men, and as a young woman, I have gained a new perspective on the amount of work and responsibility that they carry. What struck me most was the book's emphasis on the need for men to take breaks and have some leisure time, just like women and children. The author suggests various ways in which men can bond with friends and establish healthy relationships that can last a lifetime. In addition to its insights into the male world, this book is also an excellent travelogue, with vivid descriptions of the environment, cuisine, and landscape. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in understanding the male psyche or looking for some travel inspiration.

Having read this book, I can confidently say that there isn't anything about it that I don't like. I found the book to be highly intriguing and would gladly recommend it to women seeking insights into the world of men, as well as young men who may feel overwhelmed by life's challenges and in need of guidance on taking breaks and embarking on a journey of self-discovery. Additionally, I would gladly recommend this book to my friends.

I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. This book is truly one-of-a-kind, and it is evident that a great deal of care was taken in its writing. The book explores how modern men, unlike their early counterparts, seek solace in activities that offer relief from the pressures of society, and in doing so, it challenges conventional notions of masculinity. The author's arguments are presented with clarity and precision, making the book a pleasure to read from beginning to end. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a fresh perspective on masculinity and the societal expectations placed on men. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free.

Reading about the many places these four men visited was intriguing. I laughed with them, wowed with them, worried with them, and learned a lot from their experience. Indeed, this book says a lot about friendship. Interesting review.
