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.

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!

I'm so intrigued after reading your thoughts on this book! I've found the last several book BOTMs lacking, so I'm excited to get going on this one. Please update when you've finished to let me know if you've found a good reason for keeping the protagonist unnamed.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 just getting started on the book, but the title itself is interesting. It sounds like an adventure. I am sure there is a lot on brotherhood as well. I will let you know my thoughts as I progress.gali wrote: ↑01 Jan 2020, 00:17 This is a discussion topic for the January 2020 Book of the month, Man Mission: 4 men, 15 years, 1 epic journey, by Eytan Uliel.

Wow! You make it sound epic! I'd love to read this book. It has so many great elements according to your comment.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.

Yes! You will, indeed!
