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,...
评分《穿过欲望之城》只有两百余页,两三个小时就能读完,但引发的有关生命、金钱的思考却会持续很久。正如很多国外报刊杂志所评论的:“全书只有十二个章节,干脆利落,却是一场了不起的旅程。”“令人眩晕。令人上瘾。莫欣·哈米德运用他高超的写作能力,讲述了一个美妙的故事。...

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.
这书名和故事有什么关系?而且这故事真尼玛没劲,特别不喜欢作者用第二人称视角写,怎么还有人说写的特逗笑的坐错了车,咱们看的是一本书么。
评分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
评分感觉故事本身是cliche的…????self-help的形式和结构也还挺好玩,读者既是观众也是主人公也是创造者。这门课选的两本小说作者-读者关系都很有趣orz
评分A fate-of-half-life style love story in the form of self-help book, a new approach to a romantic novel. The writer adopts a different writing style that is both refreshing and touching. He writes like a gentle version of Junot Diaz.
评分傻逼书。LOL
