5.0 out of 5 starsFun tale of love & money
By Patto TOP 500 REVIEWER on May 3, 2013
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
Rachel Chu, a professor of Economics at NYU has no idea that her boyfriend Nick is the scion of an aristocratic Asian family and heir to a fabulous fortune. He invites her to spend the summer with him traveling around Asia, and this involves meeting his relatives and friends. Poor Rachel has no clue about the attack force awaiting her in Singapore - led by a crazy rich mother who will stop at nothing to prevent Nick's marriage to a penniless nobody.

That's the set-up. The setting is high society in Singapore, where the elite spend tens of thousands on their clothes and millions on their houses and apartments. At first I thought I wouldn't like this novel. It felt like a sitcom poking fun at rich people mired in conscious consumption, and not much more. But my advice is to stick with it, if you have that reaction. There is a story, and it's a good one, with lots of shocks and surprises in store for the reader.

There's a multitude of characters. Nick's circle is well stocked with loudmouth uncles, eccentric aunts, obnoxious cousins, complex friends, and nasty ex-girlfriends. Kevin Kwan portrays them like one who knows them first hand. I wonder if he does.

There's also an engaging subplot involving Nick's nice cousin, and some amusing peripheral dramas, giving the narration a satisfying complexity. I felt like a fly on the wall in a world of obscenely extravagant parties, private jets, exclusive designers and rare orchids. Kwan's background in celebrity journalism and design makes him good at describing over-the-top décor, to-die-for couture, and world-class gossips.

Crazy Rich Asians is a fun novel. I've never encountered anything quite like it, except maybe in Balzac.

3.0 out of 5 starsMissed so Many Opportunities
By Xina143 VINE VOICE on July 17, 2013
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
Being half Asian I've heard stories of the wealthy Asians of the world-especially the division between "new money and old money." (I am neither!) So, I was excited to read this novel.

But author, Kevin Kwan, missed so many opportunities. The book isn't overly long-403 pages-but he simply tried to cram too much in here, and as a result I was left feeling force fed, and yet still hungry.

Nick is from THE family on 'the island' in Singapore, and yet he's in NYC trying to build something for himself with his beautiful, smart girlfriend Rachel. When his best friend decides to marry, Nick convinces Rachel to fly with him to Asia for the summer. And here is where you know things COULD get wild. The type of wealth Nick grew up with is simply beyond most people's comprehension. (MILLIONS of dollars on couture clothing every season) We know Rachel is in for the shock of her life, and yet just as I think we're going to experience how shell shocked Rachel really is, Kwan skips to the next chapter and along with that other characters.

Storylines are left dangling, and that leaves me wondering why I bothered to get invested in the characters in the first place? IF this is going to be a series, that's one thing, but I haven't been able to find any verification on that.

With all that being said, it's the ending that left me, well, annoyed. Here I am waiting for Rachel or Nick to lay into Nick's meddling family, one of the nasty girls that peppered the story..something....and then...nothing. The book ends on a somewhat happy note, but the characters that deserved a 'good talking to'...nothing.

As a reader, I was left high and dry, and after devoting myself to 400+ pages, I wanted a more concrete resolution.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsPLEASE, SOMEONE make a CRAZY RICH ASIANS movie!
By MalibuRamos on June 13, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
WHY I ABSOLUTELY LOVED CRAZY RICH ASIANS. This is one of those novels that you read not only with your eyes. Rather, all of your senses become involved. This book allows you to almost smell and taste the food being enjoyed in nearly every chapter. To envision the opulent homes and locations the characters live in and visit. To imagine how the fabrics of the high fashions might feel on your body and, of course, to put yourself in the middle of Rachel, Nick, Astrid, Eddie and Eleanor's family predicaments. I learned a lot about a grandeur and couture that I will never experience in my own life, and I also thought about my own family's dynamics long after I had put the book down.

As I was reading the book I found myself casting the film in my head and hearing the voice of each character. That's always a good sign when I am reading. This novel reads cinematically, and I do hope someone options the film rights so I can see all these scenes come to life on a bigger screen than inside my head.

Buy this book and set aside some time. It is extremely difficult to put down once you pick it up.

My favorite fiction authors are Tennessee Williams, Plum Sykes, Pat Conroy, Emily Giffin, Anita Shreve, Gregg Hurwitz, and, if he keeps this up, Kevin Kwan!

1.0 out of 5 starswaste of time
By PGano Reads on September 9, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Unless your idea of a good read is recitation of high dollar labels, you may as well be read "People" or watch "E" on afternoon TV. Kept waiting for something to happen and it never does. I'll say it again, waste of time!

1.0 out of 5 starsTerrible.
By A Customer on February 9, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Could not finish. No plot, no character-development beyond basically naming people and giving them a physical description. Otherwise reads like an inventory of items. I've become a lot more willing to just not finish books that are awful as I've gotten older. There's a reason this was on sale when I bought it.
