This was a funny, light read and I am not sure if I liked it all that much. I thought it was funny and I got into the subversive nature of it but I was really disappointed with the ending. In some parts it felt a bit like a stand up comic routine. But it was short and sweet so filled my need for relaxing long weekend read.
Here is something someone at a newspaper wrote about the book.
"Smith's writing style is sharp and urbane with a lot of comical twists such as: "Nothing particularly out of the ordinary occurred at the wedding, except for the fact that both the bride and groom wore Star Trek uniforms."

Hi, I just discovered your blog and thought 'how nice to find a NZ blog.'
I was at the Chch foodshow too but as an exhibitor on a wine stand so missed the demonstrations. Funnily enough though I think Ray McVinnie tried some of our wine (he certainly looked like him anyway...I didn't like to ask) and you're right he was charming. jus
Wouldn't be funny if we said 'hello'? I was on the Brown Brothers stand...sweet sparkling deliciousness. Did you try it?
