4.0 out of 5 starsKevin Kwan is Back!
By OutlawPoet TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on May 11, 2015
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
I loved Crazy Rich Asians. It was an over the top beach read that I read at a rapid fire pace.

While I didn't love China Rich Girlfriend to quite the same degree of gushiness, I still thoroughly enjoyed this book. Once again, Kevin Kwan takes us into the world of the rich and classless and he does it with amazing wit and humor. In fact, this book made me literally laugh out loud - to the point where people had to ask me what I was reading.

If possible, China Rich Girlfriend is even more over the top when it comes to the excesses of the unimaginably wealthy. Yes, these folks have way too much money, but it's also so much fun to read what they do with it.

What made kept this from getting the full five stars was the fact that Rachel and Nick have gotten...boring. Now, the author does save that by making something extremely interesting happen with them, but for much of the book, Rachel and Nick kept me from the characters I really wanted to read about - even when those characters were in the Rachel/Nick scenes.

I loved reading about Kitty, Astrid, Collette and even Eleanor and Carlton.

I still really enjoyed this book and am firmly a Kevin Kwan fan. In spite of my Rachael/Nick disenchantment, I devoured this book and if Kevin Kwan writes another, I'll be first in line!

3.0 out of 5 starsShopping. Lots, and LOTS of shopping.
By S. McGee TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on May 18, 2015
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
This frothy novel reminds me a lot of the sex-and-shopping novels written by the likes of Judith Krantz in the 1990s (think, Scruples), in which there's a thin and very melodramatic plot, supplemented by a LOT of detail of lives of the fictional rich and famous. Only in the case of Kevin Kwan's two books about the très, très riche of Singapore, Hong Kong and now China (whose affluence makes Europeans look merely well-heeled), you can forget about much titillating detail of the sex lives of his characters (there may be some, but Kwan won't take you behind closed bedroom doors in rather G-rated books, if you're looking for a Chinese version even of Jilly Cooper. On the other hand, within a few pages, you'll be positively awash in the details of luxury brand names, and genealogical tables: who is who (in Kwan's roman à clef, of sorts) and what they wear, and how they gossip about everyone else, especially those who aren't as rich or who -- gasp -- come from Mainland China.

This novel essentially picks up where Crazy Rich Asians left off. Devoted Nicholas Young, scion of one of Singapore's elite families, is about to marry American-born Rachel Chu, whose mother fled China and whose father is -- unknown. Gasp; horrors. Nick's mother still isn't talking to him because of this. But on the eve of the wedding, the couple discover Rachel's father -- and he may be wealthier and better connected (on the mainland) than Rachel or the Young clan could ever have imagined, although the new ties could come with lots of complications.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsChina Rich Girlfriend
By J. Hamby on June 16, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
It almost falls down to 3.5 stars. But doesn't.

I really enjoyed Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians. It was tawdry and made no bones about it. It bordered on delicious trash (you could trash from its front porch) but fully aware and wallowing in the fact. It was a fast paced soap opera with plenty of wish fulfillment luxury.

Here the book is not quite as good. It starts out rather similar. Massive to the point of ridiculous wealth and both the privilege and power it affords. As well as the silly levels of consumption and how that can undermine one's character. Vapid, vain and venal Kwan pokes fun at his characters even as he gets more and more outrageous in displaying money at is most and, often, its worst.

The various plots move along quickly. Some things were odd and seemed out of character for the sake of deliberate stumbling blocks to resolution, something I think Kwan avoided nicely in the previous book. I also think in the first book the central foundation of the plot revolving around the wedding, gave the various plot threads a rooted element that gave the novel more focus and more charm. Here the various plot threads seemed a bit too distant at times.

Also, no spoilers, so no worried, I found a bit climatic twist silly and downright unnecessary (even though it is the vehicle of grand resolution). It was not horrifically bad. It just seemed a bit too over the top in dramatic license.

But In the end, I simply found myself hopefully awaiting another book of ridiculously rich people acting, well, ridiculous. Get writing Mr. Kwan.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat Summer Read!
By Rachel McElhany VINE VOICE on May 14, 2015
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
If you haven’t read Crazy Rich Asians, you’ll probably want to read it first. You’ll get more out of China Rich Girlfriend if you know more about the characters.

***This review will have spoilers for Crazy Rich Asians.***

China Rich Girlfriend picks up about two and half years after Crazy Rich Asians ended. Nick and Rachel are finally getting married, assuming Nick’s meddling mother will stay out of the way. They are also searching for Rachel’s birth father, which brings them to Mainland China. If you though the ultra wealthy class of Singapore in Crazy Rich Asians was over the top outrageous, you haven’t seen nothin’ yet! China is all about new money billionaires who have it and want to flaunt it unlike the discreet rich in Singapore. As unfathomable as some of the things the billionaires in this book do, they are actually true to life. Kwan spent time in China researching this book. He has said that he actually had to tone some of the crazy things the wealthy do because even though they actually happened, they would not be believable to the reader.

In addition to catching up with Rachel and Nick, we also get to see what Michael and Astrid and Kitty and Bernard have been up to. A whole new cast of characters who live in China and Hong Kong are introduced as well. My favorite new character is Corinna, a consultant who helps new money Asians integrate into the billionaire class. She teaches them how to act and dress refined and lets them in on insider information like which hotel is the right one in which to have high tea and that one refers to the Mandarin Oriental hotel as simply “the Mandarin”.

I didn’t think this book was quite as good as Crazy Rich Asians but I still liked it a lot.Read more ›
