I have only read one other book that did not give the protagonist a name at all and like that one this was expertly done. It is a writing technique, not just a clever ploy. It places the reader into the eyes of the nameless protagonist and helps them to walk in their shoes a little better. Or you know, it could just be that the author sees themself as the protagonist too. That's always an option.

My least favorite thing was that the author cheated on his wife... I am a stay at home mom and my husband works long hours for us. The narrative made me think I should definitely acknowledge his efforts a bit more, and ensure that he feels like a man. I would hate to end up like Rachel.

Now that you mention it, the perspective did get me rooting for the nameless one.Karina Nowak wrote: ↑12 Jan 2020, 15:31 This was one of the first books that I reviewed and it still is one of my favourites. I really appreciated the relationships built between the men and how you could see them mature and grow together. So often it's the girl's night-out/sisterhood books that everyone raves about being touched by, but this book was packed with wonderful 'manly' escapades, and yet still managed to touch my heart in an immense way.

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.
