Obviously, I cannot rate this one since I have not read it. However, it looks like a definite winner.
My greatest accomplishment is that I raised two daughters that love to read.

It's worth reading. I completed reading the book and gave it a 4 star. Attached below is the link to my review of the book. Enjoy.Netvigator72 wrote: ↑23 Apr 2020, 03:44This actually got me towards potentially reading the book and I’d love to hear your final thoughts.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.

I couldn't agree more! It felt at times like they were trying way too hard to be 'men' and it went a little over boardFalling4Ever wrote: ↑02 May 2020, 06:22 It was an interesting book, but personally I feel like it overhyped masculinity and what it ‘takes to be a man.’

I agree that he seemed anonymous! I think not having a name really helped but it covered so many issues that anyone might face so it is easy for anyone to relate to certain parts.Chanda Chema wrote: ↑03 May 2020, 13:26 From the dialogues, I felt that the author is the anonymous man. It is relatable as it highlights normal social relations. We grow up, we get jobs, we start families. Without knowing it, we forget about or lose friends due to shifted schedules. Luckily for the author and his friends, they reconnect and come up with a plan to make up for lost time.

I like the diversity in beliefs and hilarious adventures the characters have.
I also enjoyed seeing the characters evolve from boys to men while reading through.
I will definitely recommend this book for people because it has good humour
