Man Mission, by Eytan Uliel, is the story of the annual adventuresome jaunts of four Australian friends and self-contemplation on what it means to be a man. Each year, these four friends- the principal character, Sam, Daniel, and Alec, take on trips to different places in the countries which they'd called the 'Man Mission' where they'd formulate pacts and plan rather impulsively. At first, the Man Mission begins with only the main character and Sam, biking on a sixty miles distance in New Zealand, sustaining knee injuries and lost toenails but soon continued with Daniel and Alec as they sail through various regions of the world, hiking, kayaking, ice-wall climbing, you name it! They cover measurable amounts of distance, try out various dainties, learn new traditions, discover their authentic self. This art of fiction encapsulates all about friendship, dedications, companionship, and self-guided improvement.

The Man Mission II trip to Japan was my favorite. There they'd biked from Tokyo to Niigata, illegally bordered a train, slept in traditional guesthouses called 'ryokan', were treated to broiled fish and rice, and had public local naked baths. I've got a not-so-friendly mania with the Japanese culture so being given explicit insights on some of their traditions is a commendable effort I give to the author, Eytan Uliel. A charter was also made for the biggest fusser of the four, 'He who whines loudest wears the pink bracelet'. The pink bracelet of shame. This had me throwing fits of laughter.

I was captivated by the men's friendship, behaviors, and understandings of themselves. I understood a sweeping amount about the burden that men place themselves in and the impressions of what it implies to be a man. The little humor added had me chuckling and emotional portions almost had me tearing up.

I didn't find anything I despised in Man Mission. The book fulfilled my expectations, if not more. It was professionally edited with no single error and exceptionally well written. The journeys were explicit and terrific! The plot was well structured and the storyline was amazing. It was easy to read and kept me glued to the end. I'm therefore pleased to give the book a 4 out of 4 stars rating.

I endorse this book, Man Mission, to people who love adventurous reads. Also to anyone curious about growing their knowledge on the pressures that society place on men. However, I don't approve of it to readers who are offended by the massive use of profanities and some speck of sexual content.

I think that I’ll read this. I’ve read several reviews of this and put together they make it sound very good. I especially like how one is made to wear a special bracelet.

I am eager to dive in and better understand how men view some topics other than women, and of course to witness how exactly did this group of friends always managed to meet annually. Thank you for the great review! I will make sure to give this book a try.

Great review. And believe me you're not alone in your mania with the Japanese culture.

I hope this book teaches how one can win struggles and succeed his/her mission. It also helps anthologies know what life is. Great review.

It's nice to read about men's journey and perspectives. Good review.

[Amiczy Heaven]

Great book. The adventures were really daring. To be honest, I was on the side of the wives. The trips were risky.

[Umesh Bhatt]

Seems to be an interesting option, by going through the book, if one wants to virtually visit the places along with the author. Thanks for the beautiful review.
