Overall rating and opinion of "Man Mission: 4 men, 15 years, 1 epic journey"

[Niv123]

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!

This certainly is a compelling review. I am about to start reading this book and wanted to see if it was worth the time, it looks like it most definitely is.

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.

Thank you for this wonderful review/blurb. It gives a gist of what exactly to expect from this novel. I think this is my kind of book and can't wait to check it out.

Just going to start reading this book after going through all the positive reviews. Will certainly put up my thoughts on the novel as soon as I'm done. I look forward to the book after reading all the compelling reviews.

I gave the book a 3 out of 4 star rating. Overall I enjoyed it and I would say it was good - however not amazing (deserving of a four star). This is purely because I felt like some of the womens' behaviours were heavily stereotypical and negative, which made my eyes roll a few times.

Something so evident is that, the journey of self-discovery is characterized by discipline, diligence and consistency. The four men set rules of the journey, sticks to them and they develop discipline.

I liked reading about the exotic places they traveled to. I also liked that the story is not just about traveling but about boys growing into men. I liked the humor and the main characters. What I didn't like is that there was too much machismo, and at times I did not agree with the actions of the protagonists. Overall, I enjoyed reading this and gave this 4 stars in my review.

Sure, I agree with you that this is not a story just like any other. It teaches about life realities. Unfortunately, our society is raising boys rather than men but this piece of literature show a transformation from being boys to men. Great.

[AntoineOMEGA]

I may continue reading it because it sounds like a great story about commitment to one's goals. It is important to do what really matters during your life.

I haven't had a chance to read this book yet and don't think I'll have the chance to squeeze it into my reads for this month. However, given the number of positive responses/ratings here and the fact that travel and exploration is a central theme, I will definitely add it to my TBR list.

As someone who love adventure, I find this book very exciting. The written styles, like occasional humor, makes it very lively and enjoyable to read. I think the book is excellent!

I agree with you that the adventurous bit of it is awesome. On the culture about a man hunting his own food, I think it concides with my culture too, where men are expected to be responsible and be able to hunt their own food. The friendship and commitment in this book is a whole new thing all together. I loved the book just as much as you did.

Personally, I've read it. I'm sure you'll love the author's creativity in unwinding the unexpected so professionally, while touching on relatable themes such as friendships and commitment.

It's true. I'm done reading it and I must say that the commitment bit of it is awesome and educational. True friendship can only last, just like theirs, when there is commitment to the goals.

I also liked the bit of turning boys into men. The society has a lot to learn from this book. I'm glad that most of these protagonist showed their true manhood. And that's the best thing about art, it makes the society reflect upon it's choices and change.
