Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a book about a friendship of a group of four Australian men on a life journey of adventure, a caper for fifteen years. They began the friendship way back in law school. It became their habit to go on a week-time trip annually, each time to a different country. Their first adventurous trip was a hike in New Zealand. Later, they went on mountain biking in Japan. The experience was awesome when they toured South Africa, Spain, Iceland, Peru, and Vietnam. At some point, they sailed and kayaked downstream in Thailand. They met people of different races, varied views of life, and different lifestyles. Their interactions with other people had a positive influence on them as well as behavioral transformations. The first phases of their adventure were enjoyable and luxurious, without a burden of a family to take care of. Upon attaining maturity age, they married and began family lives. The meaning of their mission changed to reaffirmation and redefinition of what it takes to be a man, especially with the roles of a father and husband awaiting. Man appears simple and complicated, with what it takes to be a real man still a mystery.

It is a well-written book. The author is a skilled travel writer, giving the possible dangers, injuries, and misfortunes that may arise during a trip or long travel to a distant region. Again, the author has incorporated a sense of humor, mainly with the four friends having in place a pink bracelet for those who could not keep the man's mission rules of going beyond limits with no luxuries allowed. Once more, the narration style of the unmentioned first-person narrator is compelling. Moreover, the author has shared a thought-provoking perspective and reflection on life conditions and choices we make, pointing to the sacrifice of men to forego their happiness for the sake of happiness and joy for other people who depend on them. Furthermore, audacious dialogue between the four men creates crazy comedy.

The sexual conduct of many of the characters creates an upsetting attitude.

I rate this book four out of four stars. The plots are rich in fun scenes and scenarios. Additionally, the book is insightful and educational on the importance and power of relational friendships. Finally, the book editing is professional.

I recommend this book to youths with a worthwhile love for travel and adventure. The narrations are tailored to youthful men in their friendship, new life experiences, cross-culture interactions, power of recreational events participation, and the lessons learned from marriage and family life.
