![]() ![]() Jackie Collins, author of The Power Trip “Original and fun, Crazy Rich Asians is quite a roller coaster trip. A lively, generous story of shallow extravagance and human devotion.” Chinese on the outside but all-American on the inside, she allows us to see the myriad nuances of intra-Asian culture that the novel goes to great lengths to show.” “Rachel’s squeaky-clean naiveté is a clever foil to the intricate workings of the high-glamour Asian set around her. I actually couldn't put this book down to eat or to watch Downton Abbey.” “An unputdownably funny, original, modern novel. Crazy Rich Asians, on an exotic beach in super-expensive sunglasses.” ![]() Kwan, who grew up in Singapore, skewers his subjects deftly, stylishly, and completely-but with heart.” “If this isn’t the funniest book so far this year, it’s up there. “There’s rich, there’s filthy rich, and then there’s crazy rich. “It’s impossible not to get sucked into this satirical novel about the jet-setting lives of an enormous busybody family and its infinite Louboutin collection.” Offers refreshing nouveau voyeurism to readers who long ago burned out on American and English aspirational fantasies. ![]()
