Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is a book about four men who schedule a trip to travel the world and discover new places once every year. The protagonist is a lawyer who met his best friend Sam in law school. At first, he thought Sam to be a spoilt private school kid. However, when they attended the food fair together, they bonded and shared their dreams to travel and discover different cuisines.

Three years passed, and the protagonist was working at an entry-level desk job at a law firm. Sam suddenly suggested that they travel the world as promised. Conveniently enough, his friend had a free week ahead, and that was the birth of 'Man Mission.' The two incorporated their two friends later on and had fun traveling together. They visited places such as New Zealand, Tokyo, and Australia. Moreover, as the years passed, they got married and had kids, and the book dives into all of these.

What I loved most about the book was the sarcasm and humor in the characters' dialogue. This made the book enjoyable and fun to read. I also love that the book does not only cover their trips but also builds upon their family lives outside of the traveling. Through this, a reader can be able to relate to the book. For example, their partners were not always approving of the travel, and when Rachel was pregnant, she did not want to be alone.

However, there was one thing that I did not like about the book. For instance, when the author described the woman that Alec was with as a "random bimbo." This felt condescending, and it is a general stereotype. I give this book a rating of 3 out of 4 stars. I did not give it a perfect rating because I was not satisfied with the writing since it did not captivate me enough. I also did not like the somewhat misogynistic actions of the characters. For example, when the men used Daniel's daughter's pink bracelet to represent weakness while making each other wear it if someone committed an act that they deemed embarrassing. The book seemed professionally edited since I did not find any errors.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to read about new places and travel. It would also suit people looking for an adventurous read. However, I would caution readers that this book contains descriptive text about animal slaughter. I would not discourage any group of people from reading the book.

I haven’t read this book, but it seems like I ought to. These men have fun traveling around the world and trying new things together. It is unfortunate for them tat their partners are not always supportive, but many unknown things may be happening.
