Thank you for your input! I was looking for what recent BOM I was going to read next. This seems like it will be a great read!Stephanie Elizabeth wrote: ↑01 Jan 2020, 08:05 I, too, wondered the same thing about the main protagonist's lack of a name. Before posting on the discussion board, I ensured that I had all of my notes on this book, but there was nothing to identify the main character. I wonder why the author chose to do this?
I am thoroughly enjoying this book; it has everything: action, friendship and subtle funny moments. I love the whole concept of taking a yearly adventure--not all of us are afforded the luxury of taking a week off from our lives--and it is in these adventurers that the men learn things about themselves that they never knew. The writing flowed smoothly, and the characters were quite entertaining, especially when giving each other a hard time.
I am about halfway through the book and I honestly have nothing negative to say! I think this is my favorite Book of the Month that I have read thus far.
I give it 4 out of 4 stars and would recommend it to readers who enjoy fast-paced books that have an element of adventure and boast well-developed characters!

Actually the book it is a pretty good one. More than it in account that im a litle bit biased aganist the travel books.
The storytelling its pretty god. Quick reading and easy to keep in mind. A really good writer. Each travel tale is so well done that it is in his own rigth a good lone standing story. There are a lot of funny situations in it. So well depicted that i actualy laugth for hours. My own wife looked at me and asked: What the hell are you reading?
Also it had a good deep story. It show the consequences of keeping for oneself the problems of the couple, the remorse. Shows the consecuences for our beloved ones and for us for our selfish acts. Also depicts the simplicity of the old manhood comparing it whit today manhood chalenges. The frienship its very important part of the main story. And shows the essence of the inner grow of the characters with the years.
A very good book for the bedside, or the good old couch with a bourbon cup in the hand. The autor made it in a way that the reader it is also a member of the "Man mission". I truly recomend it.

4. Travel under Your Own Power from their Man Mission charter. I like their bonding, pink bracelet, sharing happiness, sorrows. How they support each other when in needs. I can't even finished telling. Just Thanks Author for giving us a wonderful story. I could imagined myself as a part of their Man Mission Group.

I don't recall disliking anything, but if I had to pick any, I'd say that I didn't like how the main character didn't have a name, although I get the point of it being the case.
People who read are hiders. They hide who they are. People who hide don't always like who they are.

Having to constantly be on the road and on the move for whatever reason is something I don't if I'll ever be able to do. Makes me appreciate the characters in this book more. All in all, it sounds like an intriguing book. I haven't read it but I'll be willing to give it a try.Nerea wrote: ↑01 Jan 2020, 02:30 I'm currently reading the book. It's an exciting and adventurous story that grips the reader's attention. The story reveals to the reader the answer to the question "Who is a man?" Exploring different cities is the best treat one can offer to him/herself. And the four gentlemen did well to do that albeit the responsibilities they had as employees, husbands, and fathers. Though they suffered injuries on their missions, they didn't give up. This brings up the impression that one should stick to their commitments come what may. Additionally, endurance is the key factor for one to complete a course in life.
I like the diverse culture and beliefs in the book. One belief that amuses me is the Siberian belief that "a real man catches and kills their own food." The characters are funny and interact freely with each other. The reader can feel their bond of love reading through their conversations. The mission rules are hilarious, funny, and thought provoking.
I don't understand why the protagonist is not identified by a unique name. I kept asking myself, Is it a feature in writing? or Is the protagonist the author of the book?
The book will appeal to those who love to travel and explore different region and cities in the world.
I will rate the book after I'm done reading the book.
