**spoiler review** • The author wanted go show how shallow these people were. I think he was successful in that. They were in fact crazy, rich and asians. But I dont think I got the point that the author was trying to make...okay so they…

Sun Dec 24 ‘23| EPL book club | Hard copy | 526 p | 2013 | Three parts, each with 18 short chapters. Many, many characters! Primarily set in Singapore. Pretty incredible/hard to believe (fantasy?!). Tiresome name-dropping of art,…

A very silly book, but not realistic and it might hurt a lot of Chinese immigrants because due to the silly background. And that might be why the movie is not getting a great ticket feedback in China. In the other words. This is a…

tiny place splashed out boldface; quasi debase, lashed, and embrace. Eurocentric gauge Asians upstage. for - poor voyeur of grandeur, balm in rom com.

Crazy Rich Asians is a romantic comedy novel written by Kevin Kwan. Many people recognize this name, most likely because of the 2018 movie adaptation. (now you know that it was primarily a novel !) The novel is quite funny and is a…

I enjoyed this book because of the interesting cultural aspects and the extravagant lifestyle the people lead. I did not love the authors writing style as I found it very choppy and disorganized. I would have preferred a first-person story…

"I picked up ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ because I was curious to know exactly why so many people enjoyed it. It is so popular! I was also secretly suspicious—scared, even—that, like some popular books, it would disappoint me. To my relief, it did…

Extravagance beyond common imagination. Much more "crazy rich" than the movie version because of the meticulous and brain-boggling displays of utter excess (perhaps overly displayed, especially during the last portion of the…
