Man Misson by Eytan Uliel is an epic fifteen-year story about four best friends who set off on adventures across the globe, living by their own made-up rules on a mission of self-discovery. Enduring ridiculous outdoor sports and ego mixed with adrenaline as to what will drive men to do crazy things. Along these missions, they experience love, break-ups, marriage, and kids in their personal lives, promotions, business failures, and bankruptcy in their work environments.

As their friendship grew with each man's mission, so did the grueling outdoorsy challenges. Each event had to be more challenging than the last, for example, losing all ten toenails from a 60-mile hike in New Zealand. Kayaking against the ocean current, island hopping in Fiji, or even uber-sailing on a catamaran while being serenaded by a French band singing German punk songs in Thailand. And in their work environment, they lived by the same motto: sacrifice now, reap the reward in the future, therefore persevered and prevailed, thus making them excellent breadwinners.

These are the trials and tribulations of four testosterone-driven men armed with courage and bravery, drawn into outlandish fantasies joining the Man Mission Committee to experience the best way a man should live. At the end of every mission, as tradition, they would gorge themselves on huge steaks as a celebratory menu in concurring their mission.

This book is not necessarily written only for men's read but for women too. Women can now have an idea and understanding of how a man generally thinks, feels, and expresses himself and are not necessarily categorized as being Martians. These men can also be sensitive yet comical, especially with the Tiger Balm shenanigans earning himself the Pink Bracelet, which kept me giggling and turning the pages. Just like women, men are generally gravely misunderstood. Yet reading their real-life experiences gives one a greater understanding of how or what makes a man tick.

Eytan Uliel's novel was exceptionally well-written and well-edited, and there was nothing I disliked about it. His beautiful descriptive writing skills had me picturing myself riding my bike through the exquisite sceneries in New Zealand, among the Hobbits in the Lord of the Rings. I also visualized myself being in a mild narcotic state of mind after sipping on kava juice and having lucid dreams on the beach of the Yasawa Islands of Fiji. I thoroughly enjoyed every chapter of the book. I, therefore, give Man Mission by Eytan Uliel a 5 out of 5 star rating and suggest this as a splendid read for anyone with a passion for living life to the fullest.
