I loved this book! I was impressed with the author's humor and his ability to make the reader feel a plethora of emotions. The friendship of the four men was something very special that you don't see that much in today's society. I wasn't fond of the profanity. I know it is the standard language for many people today, however, I don't find it necessary to make a good story! I rated this book 4 stars. I will definitely recommend it to others.

I gave the book four stars. I was pleasantly surprised by it. I was afraid the characters might be macho dudebros. In spite of Alec's occasional blowhard behavior, they were, overall, ordinary and likable guys.

I am so intrigued by the reviews that I want to read the book. I think it would be very interesting to know men’s perspectives on various life issues. More than often such stories of friendship have women centric. It is refreshing to read about Male bonding. Add to that, the interesting travelogues from fun places!

This is an amazing book. I also noticed that the protagonist was not mentioned. I personally believe if it is not the author. It may have been a writing technique implored by the author to make the reader perceive as if they were the ones actually on the Man Missions . This is a great book i really enjoyed the exotic eating and cultural information the book contains not to forget to mention the wonderful vivid landscapes described by the author.

The book wasn't all that great for me. I'd probably give it a two out of four rating. I didn't even have the will to finish it.

Who is a a man?

A common question indeed. I end up seeing a man as a risk taker. Men are driven by a strong urge to discover things and about themselves too. Man Mission takes a reader to an adventure and gives knowledge about men.

I won't be wrong to recommend this amazing book to all Men who love adventure.

Man mission was my first book in the site and also my most favourite book. Though its about men who are going to world adventures it was really fun and enjoyable to read. I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars since that's what it deserved. What I liked about it is how the friends shared their experiences and their marriage problems. Also I kinda learnt a lot from the places that they visited like Australia and Japan. The book can be read by adventure lovers

This is definitely a four out of four stars to me. I read it in about two and a half days. I'm already reading his next book, Head Waggling in India. LOL

I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars. It is written exceptionally well. I love the author's writing style. I enjoyed seeing the characters grow. I did not like the use of strong language. the author also did not name the narrator. The attitude towards women is questionable. I would recommend the book to any reader who can see past the faults and take in the real lessons about the modern day man.

I think I would rate this one 3 out of 4 stars. It is very good, and the pacing and action are very interesting. However, this kind of book is not generally the sort that I would pick up and buy unprompted.

I have just finished reading this book. It's definitely an interesting book. I like that we can see the world through a man's perspective. I like the adventures they took and it made me want to travel to those places as well and maybe even hike like they did.

I'm still deciding whether to give this book a 3 or 4 out of 4. Because I didn't like that there was way too much cursing in this book... Cursing in my opinion in a sign of immaturity. But overall I really liked the book and towards the end I was also very emotionally gripped and couldn't put the book down until i finished.

Post by djr6090 »

I am up to the third part of the story and absolutely love it. After some annoying fiddling with the format of the EPUB, (it would not enlarge the print) I overcame my irritation and got into the narrative big time. What I liked the best were the emotional confessions of the narrator. Seldom have I considered that the apparent success of a middle age man could hide such dissatisfaction with his condition.
