Crazy Rich Asians

Entertaining while offering interesting insight into Singapore‘s and surrounding history and culture, really enjoyed this as well as the other two books of Kevin Kwan‘s trilogy

I am Asian, I lived in Singapore, and I am not crazy rich - but I certainly heard of enough people on that tiny island who are. Ten years ago, I remember being addicted to a blog (now defunct) called "pinkshoefetish" where one Daphne Teo of Singapore documented every single materialistic extravaganza in her life - endless Tod's bags, Chanel, the luxurious apartment she (or her parents) rented when she was at Purdue (no stinky student dorms for her), her endless jet-setting to the most expensive hotels and restaurants in New York, London, Paris, etc. At that time, I wasn't even sure I could afford to go to college, so Daphne's blog was pure escapism (if not a source of resentment). I don't remember what her parents did to afford that lifestyle, but anyway, my point is - the crazy rich Asians of East and Southeast Asia do exist, and man do they live largely. When I saw that a Singaporean had written a novel about them and that it was in the hands of a major NYC publishing house, I couldn't wait to read it, to see what had caught the attention of these editors, so much that they were willing to take on a book about Asians, set in Singapore.

It was great! Very enjoyable

Comprei como um presente para minha mãe depois que ela se apaixonou pelo filme. O livro tem um tamanho bom, a qualidade é excelente e não é um livro pesado. Para os amantes de Comédias Românticas é uma trilogia a se pensar em ler.

الكتاب غلافه تقطع والورق اسوء نوع لاانصح فيه ابدا

Livre très sympa pour l'été, je recommande également le film

Lo recomiendo, buen libro, muy interesante, muy entretenido. Llego en buen estado. Lo único que cambiaría es que la letra es un poco pequeña .
