I did not really enjoy reading the book Master and Man. I found that the book was not very entertaining. In some books even if the book is not entertaining it gives you some thoughts and feelings but even this book didn’t make me think or give me feelings.
I thought the books story was not well written at all. I found that the story was very repetitive and very predictable. For example, before Nikita and Vassili left to go to Goriachkin the book kept repeating people talking about the weather. So it was quite easy to predict that the weather was going to be a problem during the journey. They also just kept getting lost in snowstorm after snowstorm it was the same thing every time. So that was also very predictable.There was no variety in events, no excitement.
The characters did not help the story because they were very boring. The only character that was a little bit interesting was Nikita because we could see that he was clever. It shows that he was clever when he doesn’t argue with Vassili about how much he’s underpaid because he knows that if he quits, he would have no where else to go. That’s why he is an interesting character to look at. Vassili on the other hand is quite boring. He’s just an arrogant rich guy like every other rich character in any other book. He always looks to make money because that’s all he cares about. There was a little interesting part when he helps Nikita but that was only because he knew that he was going to die. Other than that he was just anther bring rich character.
That’s why the book didn’t make me think or feel anything. Because there was no type of excitement at all.
