Overall rating and opinion of "Man Mission: 4 men, 15 years, 1 epic journey"

[Charlyn Tuzon]

I absolutely loved the book and gave it a 4 out of 4. I liked storytelling in general, and how the author kept me interested throughout 15 years of adventure. I liked that their travels were so varied and the characters themselves were so realistic. I also liked the balance of humor, adventure, and hardships in the male perspective.

It didn't really bother me that the main protagonist didn't have a name because I felt that I already knew him through the stories he was telling me.

I can't think of anything I didn't like in the book, so I think it's definitely a book worth reading.

I'm currently reading the book. It's an exciting and adventurous story that grips the reader's attention. The story reveals to the reader the answer to the question "Who is a man?" Exploring different cities is the best treat one can offer to him/herself. And the four gentlemen did well to do that albeit the responsibilities they had as employees, husbands, and fathers. Though they suffered injuries on their missions, they didn't give up. This brings up the impression that one should stick to their commitments come what may. Additionally, endurance is the key factor for one to complete a course in life.

I like the diverse culture and beliefs in the book. One belief that amuses me is the Siberian belief that "a real man catches and kills their own food." The characters are funny and interact freely with each other. The reader can feel their bond of love reading through their conversations. The mission rules are hilarious, funny, and thought provoking.

I don't understand why the protagonist is not identified by a unique name. I kept asking myself, Is it a feature in writing? or Is the protagonist the author of the book?

The book will appeal to those who love to travel and explore different region and cities in the world.

I will rate the book after I'm done reading the book.

Wow! You make it sound epic! I'd love to read this book. It has so many great elements according to your comment.

Sure thing. Enjoy your reading in advance.

I really didn't like this book! I thought it was very sexist at times and I was drawn to none of the characters and thought the way they treated their wives were terrible!! Maybe it was just me, I ended up only giving it a 2 out of 4 when I reviewed it

Other than the bad language here and there, I am enjoying this book. I can definitely see why it has almost a 4 star average rating. The author's writing style is great!

Oh. I have also sympathized with the wives in some of the cases. I can't take away from the author's writing skill though, and I have had to remind myself that this is a men's adventure, so their language and attitude when alone is something we have to put up with.

This is one of the very first books I read and reviewed for OBC, and I loved it. I rated it 4 stars for great characters, exciting travel scenes, and the insight it gives into the struggles of modern-day men.

I suppose the book is exciting enough about eventually 4 guys' adventures. I think it interesting that the main character had to be 'pulled' back into his idea by his friend. The character looked totally 'enslaved' by his job and so couldn't make time earlier during this junior lawyer job position's 'enslavement/office job' to take time for an adventure. Lawyers have too much demanded of them if they can't easily take a five-day vacation at least once a year! (Okay, maybe I'm overreacting a little: I guess a legal case shouldn't be dragged on an on, even to give a lawyer a vacation in the middle of it) I wonder what my position on that would be if I were a lawyer or a lawyer's wife.
Did I forget anything? I find it hard/tiring to proofread my own writing.

[THarveyReadALot]

Addendum: I like that they went to New Zealand first? Reminds me of the Lord of the Rings movies. New Zealand has wonderful scenery. It's kind of hard to believe that those islands have so many mountains as portrayed in the movies. But I also remember the beautiful scenery of Hawaii in the movie 'Jurassic Park'. I think it was at least partially filmed there.

I haven't been too keen on the last few BOTM so I hope that this will be be a step up or more in line with my own taste for novels. I think that it is good if the book appeals to people who love to travel and explore as this will capture a wider audience. It sounds like a lot of readers like this novel.

[Rangerkay]

I have not read this book yet, as I was finishing a previous book for review. I do find it interesting that so many of you are saying the main protagonist has no name and I started thinking about that. Could it be that the author was attempting to give you an immersive experience into the events of the book? Since I haven't read the book yet, I can't be fully sure of my theory.

Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is an awesome novel which contains some exotic places, travel stories, friendship, and lots more. I liked this book a lot, and I liked the places also. It deserves 4 out 4 stars.

[Ekta Swarnkar]

It sounds a humorous book from the viewpoint of a man and his hilarious rules. It is a good reason to believe that the book is wonderful.

[shravsi]

The story sounds intriguing. Maybe I will know the reason for keeping the protagonist's name a mystery, once I complete reading the book
