When two more men joined, what had begun as a type of excursion between two men eager to test their manhood transformed into a mission. They turned the journey into a yearly event, traveling fifteen times around the globe. For all of them, it was an experience as much as a physical journey as they climbed, swam, kayaked, took chances, and even experienced mutual grief. They remained together through thick and thin. Did what they experienced make them stronger men? Or did it demonstrate that everyone's life experience is the result of how they see themselves within the context of being authentic to themselves and people around them?

I give this book, Man Mission, a standing ovation for Eytan Uliel. His writing abilities are truly remarkable. This evocative, entertaining, and educational essay provides a glimpse of the author's writing style. This novel held my attention from beginning to end. I had the impression that I was present for every mission. The trips to Iceland and Africa were my two favorite missions. Climbing the ice wall and getting so close to those vicious beasts in the African forest was undoubtedly a challenge that only the mentally and physically strong could try, let alone complete. It was also a good geography lesson.

The frequent use of profanity was the only thing I didn't like. It got on my nerves a little bit, even though it was usually just the same word repeated.

This book receives a rating of five out of five stars from me. Because of the flawless editing, the engaging descriptive prose that had me reading until the very end, and the important life lessons imparted, it is deserving of this grade.

Because of its heavy use of profanity, I would recommend this book to adults and to anyone who likes adventure.
