Crazy Rich Asians 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书
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。

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.
[ audible ]a known product but not someone considered an A-list, cheesy writing, horriblely narrated market-posed bullshit. writer the shitty speculator, bestseller my ass.
评分Chap 5弃。本来期待的是wealth report类的社会讽刺杂文,结果竟然是上帝视角完美男主琼瑶小言!29岁女博士如何嫁入豪门,还有比这更人坚不拆的吗?!
评分本来就不喜欢abc,女主神烦。比小时代高很多,但那是因为小时代是负分读物。
评分故事相当老套,一边看一边我就在怀疑为什么要花时间看这样的书,里面的人相当snobbish以及脸谱扁平化。女主说着“不要不要我怎么好意思接受你们给我买这么贵的东西”然后一套套地接受超贵的designer clothes = = 开头讲Astrid从小就是fashion queen,走在流行的前前前端,快到结尾作者忽然写她从小只穿过自家裁缝做的衣服,十七八岁才第一次见识了巴黎高端定制服装——感觉作者可能已经把自己前半部分的设定忘得一干二净了(可是编辑审阅的时候难道不能多带点脑子嘛真是不可思议)。男主家里爆有钱,举手投足都是金钱的响声,住八星级酒店,飞私人飞机,结果一脸痴呆天真地对女主说,“我从来都不知道自己有钱。”有钱人世界我不懂。感觉像智障版的甄嬛传,而每个人物如果穿越回中国后宫都活不过半集。
评分1颗星给亮瞎眼的封面
