Summary: A wonderful book
Comment: This is a wonderful book, gentle and kind, funny and thought-provoking, too. The Amazon book description above gives the story but doesn't give, really, any idea of how good a read this is. By the time I was about a quarter into the book, I hated that it was going to end. So, every night before going to sleep, I would pick it up again and begin to read, slowly, savoring the descriptions, savoring the images, laughing out loud. And it lingers on now in memory as I wonder about those SF parrots, conures, are they really there? And I wonder, too, that irritating childhood question at the end of a book, And then what happened? ...They all live happily ever after, undoubtedly, except for those few who shouldn't.
I passed ELSEWHERE... on to a friend and she, normally a greedy reader, consuming a story in a couple of hours, reacted very similarly.
This a sweet book. I can't recommend it more highly.

Summary: A Good Time
Comment: This is a delightful read. A sweet and humorous tale of a bright, but slightly neurotic poet meets adventurous girl scientist. Her research on parrots in their native habitat and his guilt over throwing his screeching parrot out the window, leads them both to Equador.
I love to read a novel in which I not only enjoy the story, but also come away with a little more knowledge than I had before I started the book. The descriptions of Equador and it's terrain did just that. One does not have to be a bird fancier to enjoy this story. This book was well worth the time and money. I plan on sending my copy of Elsewhere in the Land of Parrots to my daughter who happens to have one of those screeching conures in her living room.
