Crazy Rich Asians is the outrageously funny debut novel about three super-rich, pedigreed Chinese families and the gossip, backbiting, and scheming that occurs when the heir to one of the most massive fortunes in Asia brings home his ABC (American-born Chinese) girlfriend to the wedding of the season.
When Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home, long drives to explore the island, and quality time with the man she might one day marry. What she doesn't know is that Nick's family home happens to look like a palace, that she'll ride in more private planes than cars, and that with one of Asia's most eligible bachelors on her arm, Rachel might as well have a target on her back.
Initiated into a world of dynastic splendor beyond imagination, Rachel meets Astrid, the It Girl of Singapore society; Eddie, whose family practically lives in the pages of the Hong Kong socialite magazines; and Eleanor, Nick's formidable mother, a woman who has very strong feelings about who her son should--and should not--marry. Uproarious, addictive, and filled with jaw-dropping opulence, Crazy Rich Asians is an insider's look at the Asian JetSet; a perfect depiction of the clash between old money and new money; between Overseas Chinese and Mainland Chinese; and a fabulous novel about what it means to be young, in love, and gloriously, crazily rich.
会读这本书的原因其实很好笑,在图书馆的书架摸到它,被质感惊呆了,装帧设计也很美,所以这本书一定要读Anchor的纸质版,实在是非常非常幸福的阅读体验。 回到书的内容上,作者在书中歧视中国大陆的情节太多,并且一点也不了解大陆,蛮可笑的。但可读性还是挺强的,如果没事干...
评分1. 总体还行,读起来饶有兴致。满足人们对顶级富豪阶层的偷窥欲,同时也佐证,烦恼不管有钱没钱,总是有的。 2. 太多时尚方面的内容,不懂。但是富豪阶层的鄙视链,虽然没有亲历(我这脸有多大,想着“亲历”)但看起来似乎都是合乎情理的。作者,应该如其所言,也是那里出来的...

评分凌晨终于把这本书看完了,消遣看看挺有意思的。 主线是30岁左右出身于大陆的女博士与32岁超级帅超级有人格魅力的超过三代贵族家庭出身的男博士的励志故事,并且穿插了其他老中青三代男女富豪们的故事。里面的人物太多,因此对于男女主角的刻画略显薄弱,倒是更偏重描写他们衣...
评分Parallel worlds.
评分#灰姑娘的故事,怎么都会流行。文笔流畅,还蛮不错的。本来想写篇东西条分缕析一下的,但是觉得不是太值得费时。
评分情节非常单薄 但作者想探讨的话题挺深刻的 两条线都在试图破解 两个来自不同阶级的人到底能否结合 书里作者给了小团圆的结局 但是讲真 我并不觉得这种挣脱阶级的婚姻会幸福 丹麦以前的香港王妃 甚至男人斩的扛把子邓姐 婚姻结束 都不能逃脱阶级差距在里面扮演的角色
评分看到前1/3以为是一个堪比低端版《简·爱》,高端版《小时代》的世情小说,2/3已经快忍不住弃书了,两个纽约大学学术新星也不免落入红楼梦式中国大家族的腐朽纷争让人不免怀疑这是21世纪吗?在西方语境里默许不够decent的势利世故、浅薄消费主义、家长制专断独裁、逆流般的长子世袭制拿到亚洲上流社会背景就变成喜剧一笑了?结果万万没想到到了最后大结局谜底揭晓,原来是对80年代大陆一胎政策的泣血控诉.....这个大杂烩煮得.....
评分欧美小四,高配小时代。Old Money距离现实太远以至于可以XJB写,反正爽文就是一个爽字,无论是老套的灰姑娘还是“异国风情”的新加坡。说是Gossip Girl都抬举了,真的,中文也就是晋江水准。Audio版巨长,很多情节听个头就知道怎么发展了。作者对近现代亚洲的了解估计来自谭恩美。
