Four best friends who met in college decided to embark on an adventurous men's trip every year. This trip involves traveling to countries on different continents, where they would hike, kayak, or ride bikes for long distances. They named it their Man Mission and created rules for the mission. As time went by, it became a tradition that continued for fifteen years.

As they got married, had children, and faced real-life adult problems, the perfect lives they envisioned began to fade away. This yearly man mission became much more than an annual men's trip. It became an escape from reality and a source of stability. During their travels, they experienced different cultures, met men who were also on their own Man Mission, and even encountered a roaring lion in South Africa. Will the lives of these men go back to being perfect, or will things remain the way they are? Read Man Mission, written by Eytan Uliel to find out.

This book consists of 3 parts, each with 5 chapters, making up a total of 15 chapters. Additionally, it includes an epilogue. Each chapter tells a different story about the men's trip, which took place in a different location. Therefore, each chapter is titled after the location of that particular mission. Prior to the start of each chapter, there is a quote and a Bible verse. Furthermore, a map displaying the location of the mission, along with the means of transportation used during the trip, is also provided. At the end of each chapter, there is a summary of the trip, listing the country visited, location, mode of transport, distance covered, time taken, accommodation, and any injuries sustained. The book is narrated from a first-person point of view.

Man Mission is a well-written book that revolves around the writer and his three best friends. I enjoyed everything about this book. The characters are well-developed, and the plot is well-organized. I appreciated how the writer told the story, switching between events happening during the vacation and events that took place before the vacation. The book is also filled with life lessons. The writer's struggles with his job, family, and marriage are relatable, as he tries to find his true self and happiness. The author used simple words, making the book very easy to read and understand.

I found this book spectacular. The events were well-explained with the use of similes, which helped me to vividly imagine the events in my mind. I could also feel the emotions in the book, such as disappointment and remorse. The book was professionally edited, and I found it entertaining, enlightening, and informative. I must commend the author for producing Man Mission; it is a great book.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because I found nothing wrong with it. The plot is well-organized, and I could relate to some parts of the book. I recommend this book to all readers, including writers who would like to improve their writing and storytelling skills.
