The mystery of life is that many people in life especially men, do not or rather have not found their identity. Many struggle to search for identity alone. Man Mission shows that friendship can help a great deal to compose our inner being and find ourselves in the midst of busy life.

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!
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!

I truly liked this one. A true tale of "Men among the men".

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.

I have yet to read this book, but the reviews sound intriguing. I like that it is adventurous. I don't know how I feel about the main character not being named, but I think that probably adds a layer of mysteriousness to it. I can't want to take a look.

I'm currently reading this book and I have to say I like it a lot more than I thought I would. My favorite part is where they add the two other characters.

I just finished reading the book and it is interesting and inspiring. The thing that I liked most in Man Mission is the enjoyable moments that the characters had together and that they stuck with each other in good and bad situations. The thing I disliked the most was the main character's choices in his marriage. I definitely would recommend this book to other people because it's a great book to read that isn't only fun but it also teaches on some of life's decisions.

I already finished this book. It's a great novel of Author. I must have to admit, i enjoyed every seconds of reading this book like i am also their, as if i can touch them , feel them, laugh with them, feel angry some of their actions, race in my heart. In all, it was an amazing journey over the past days while reading this. I like their friendship, their rules, specially 3. Go Beyond Your Limits,
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.

What I liked most about it is the idea of Man Mission in and of itself. I really loved it! It has inspired me to try it out myself with my friends. I also liked the character development of each one of them, it was meticulously done and I could empathise with the main character on quite a deep level.
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.

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.
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.

I am currently reading and enjoying the book. I like the adventures I have read about in the book. I see each adventure as a way to combat the daily routines of life. I think each adventure takes these men back to their younger, more carefree days. Looking forward to reading about the next adventure.

I haven't gotten to reading this book yet but it sounds like my cup of tea. Travel and adventure is something I love and I am curious to know more on this. It is also exciting to hear men's perspective on this journey their on. From the previous comments it sounds like this book will be a treat.
