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.
Kevin Kwan is the author of "Crazy Rich Asians," the international bestseller now being adapted as a major motion picture. The sequel, "China Rich Girlfriend," will be released on June 16, 2015. Born and raised in Singapore, Kwan has called Manhattan home for the past two decades but still craves pineapple tarts and a decent plate of Hokkien mee.

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Can't believe I finished this book! It's like a rubbish! I didn't see crazy rich Asians, just crazy not so rich Singaporeans! Since when Singapore becomes the center of Asia? Rating three stars is for the stunning beginning.
评分Holy crazy book,Lah! 屌丝平民女主加高富帅贵族世家男主,Lah。这不就是够血韩剧重现吗。尤其不喜欢书里各种拟声词“Lah”,也许是因为单纯的不喜欢港式英语Lah. 作为小说读物,不可。作为英语初级读物,可。想窥视粤语族富人穷极无聊的生活,可。
美国版小时代, Asian版Gossip Girl, 书太畅销作家上个月还出了新书叫China Rich Girlfriend, aka China goes to NYU????
评分剧情还没有小时代丰富。。。
评分本来想crazy Rich Asian/Rich Asian’s problem/Rich Asian girl friend 一系列刷下来的,然鹅,第一本已经足够腻了。#答应我好好选书好吗!
评分I love all the picturesque descriptions of the architecture, art pieces and couture clothes and find the frequent use of archaic words pretty amusing. However, the dubious description of Mainland China made its introductions of other places seem fishy, too.
评分惹 真的差 看完觉得自己浪费了时间
