I enjoyed this book but it was probably my least favorite book of hers that I've read so far. As I don't ride motorcycles, that probably had something to do with it. Still, it was interesting. This will probably go in my next travel narrative bookbox.

I'm taking this book from the Travel Narrative bookbox because it's set in New Zealand, one of the places I'd most like to visit someday.

Later: I enjoyed the book, although I did have issues with the author's main premise - she was in search of the "traditional New Zealand male", by which she meant some kind of brutish he-man with, apparently, no gentle side at all. At least, whenever she encountered yet another big, tough, scarily competent fellow somewhere but noticed that he was good with kids or nice to cats, she'd cross him off her list; crazy woman! {wry grin}

I was also rather concerned about her threats to life and property; she set out to tour the country on motorcycle after just getting her license, and having NEVER practiced on a bike the size and weight of the one she rented. While she may have overemphasized her wobbles and mistakes for comedic effect, I'd still hate to have been one of the drivers stuck behind her while she fiddled with her new toy. [She didn't care for Christchurch much, and as I've met several wonderful BCers from there I took that amiss. Ahem.]

But, those things aside, her rather breezy writing style and the undoubted wonders of the country she was traveling in were very enjoyable, and I'd still love to visit - though I would NOT be riding a motorcycle that I couldn't even lift!

This book was in nattabee's can't wait to get on the road again large bookbox. Nattabee asked me if I wanted to keep the box since she is trying to clear out some books. I am sending this book along with some others to a zone manager.
