A review by kmkasiner
Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan

3.0

I wouldn't say the movie is objectively better, but it's very different, and the movie appealed to my sensibilities more. The book is a satire, not a romantic comedy. The characters aren't very developed, and there are a TON of them. The setting is indeed crazy though, and very richly described. Kwan clearly knows the foibles of rich people in and out and I'm impressed with all the detail. If you like books that rely primarily on setting, you might enjoy this more.
