Light fun, but it didn't hold together as well as Tears of the Giraffe. Smith has trouble keeping his characters consistent and showing their changes over time. Like a weekly sitcom, they seem to revert. I don't buy Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni's depression, for example--it appears to exist solely to be a plot complication.
