From the internationally bestselling author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist , the boldly imagined tale of a poor boy’s quest for wealth and love.

His first two novels established Mohsin Hamid as a radically inventive storyteller with his finger on the world’s pulse. How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia meets that reputation—and exceeds it. the astonishing and riveting tale of a man’s journey from impoverished rural boy to corporate tycoon, it steals its shape from the business self-help books devoured by ambitious youths all over “rising Asia.” It follows its nameless hero to the sprawling metropolis where he begins to amass an empire built on thatmost fluid, and increasingly scarce, of goods: water. Yet his heart remains set on something else, on the pretty girl whose star rises along with his, their paths crossing and recrossing, a lifelong affair sparked and snuffed and sparked again by the forces that careen their fates along.

How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia is a striking slice of contemporary life at a time of crushing upheaval. Romantic without being sentimental, political without being didactic, and spiritual without being religious, it brings an unflinching gaze to the violence and hope it depicts. And it creates two unforgettable characters who find moments of transcendent intimacy in the midst of shattering change.

读后感

和一位饱经磨难的人对话3个小时。 通篇故事只有9.5万字，比较少见的第二人称叙述视角，讲述了生活在南亚的一生。这一生，出生和成长在极度贫穷的环境，经过亲人的死亡，打上烙印的初恋，靠黑心赚钱的致富路程。一个很简单的故事，但是挺精彩。 姐姐抱着耳垂受伤的弟弟唱歌，这...

本文主旨：我奔走一生追求金钱，最后才发现我真正渴望的是爱。 一开始，只是觉得场景画面好真实，真实到感觉主人翁就生活在我们的周围。 从农村走向城市，让他一家脱离了永远的贫困基点；父亲给他受教育的机会，让他打开了新世界的大门，即使又要工作又要上学，身心疲惫，然而...  

书不厚，在公司花了一周的午休时间（每天半小时）读完。情节还是不错的，文笔也好，适合浅度阅读打发时间。 先说说这本书的缺点。被吹嘘成国际版《了不起的盖茨比》，个人认为蹭热度成分居多。不管是情节构思，人物描写，心理描写，场景描写等等等等，都不是一个档次的。再有，...  

用户评价

its a very boring book to me...the 2nd person point of view confuses me ...the book is quite an innovative once since it is a parody of self-help bk while what it tells is a person's life story,but i just didnt have the interest in reading it ~_~ i dont know what i've learned about life/love/getting rich

用很有新意的视角和细腻的文笔撰写了一个本质上很俗套的故事，看多了还是审美疲惫

Disappointed

傻逼书。LOL

这本就开始BS了。。。。。。
