Dear Dr Elder,
I am a travel agency owner and NZ Kiwi Specialist in NC.
Recently, I was sent a complimentary copy of your latest book Straying from the Flock. I brought it along to read while making a 14 day trans-atlantic crossing aboard the Windstar in November. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed reading about your travels thru NZ. Having spent 5 weeks there in 2003 with my husband, it brought back memories of my own trip as I compared them to your experiences.
You have shed light on several concepts worth mentioning:
* New Zealand is a beautiful, with awe-inspiring scenery
* NZ is large and diverse
* NZ is worth a visit of at least 3 weeks
* New Zealanders are some of the most friendly and welcoming folks around
* Travel is relatively safe even when traveling alone
* Farm or homestays can be wonderful ways to see NZ up close.
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful book with me. I look forward to recommending it to our clients.
Regards,
Nancy L. Cutter, CTC, DS

Rating - Traveling without moving!
I generally do not care for travel books. I am glad that I took the time to read this book. A writer that has the ability to place you where you have never been before; allowing you to feel, sense and experience a place you have never been is better than any movie. As I sat in my "lazy boy" reading this book, I felt as if I were in New Zealand. I was on an adventure out of this country.
Fabulous reading. Highly recommended.

Rating  - Fantastic synopsis of an incredible journey!
Alex Elder provided intimate details of a land that is extraordinary. After having read this book, I immediately wanted to book a trip to New Zealand. His countless remarks on the beauty of the land and its people make it a must read and a must go on anyone's travel wish list.
Rating - Future Travel Wishes
As a seasoned traveller, I am always searching for new and interesting places to visit. New Zealand has not been high on my wish list. I picked up this book to see if I might enjoy this far away country.
To my delight, I found the book to be charmingly written and very informative about the beauty of the land and people. The author writes with a great sense of humor. Even if you don't plan to travel that far from home, it is good to learn how others live and enjoy life.
Pick up this book and you are sure to be entertained!
