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.

读后感

1. 总体还行，读起来饶有兴致。满足人们对顶级富豪阶层的偷窥欲，同时也佐证，烦恼不管有钱没钱，总是有的。 2. 太多时尚方面的内容，不懂。但是富豪阶层的鄙视链，虽然没有亲历（我这脸有多大，想着“亲历”）但看起来似乎都是合乎情理的。作者，应该如其所言，也是那里出来的...  

#疯狂的亚洲富豪# 尽管这是一本三流的小说可我们没人写的出。49年以后大陆就没有old money了，因此郭敬明这样从小吃冒菜涮猪脑长大的，只能发际之后写写小时代。他穷尽想象道听途说也写不出“疯狂的亚洲富豪”，因为大陆没有“上流社会”，没有这样经历三四代的人财富堆积。或...

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...  

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.  

用户评价

惹 真的差 看完觉得自己浪费了时间

#灰姑娘的故事，怎么都会流行。文笔流畅，还蛮不错的。本来想写篇东西条分缕析一下的，但是觉得不是太值得费时。

哈哈哈哈 都能想象出来这个怎么改编成电影或者电视剧。纸醉金迷，比小时代什么的高端多了

17年计划看的书，19年最后一个月硬着头皮看完了。

欧美小四，高配小时代。Old Money距离现实太远以至于可以XJB写，反正爽文就是一个爽字，无论是老套的灰姑娘还是“异国风情”的新加坡。说是Gossip Girl都抬举了，真的，中文也就是晋江水准。Audio版巨长，很多情节听个头就知道怎么发展了。作者对近现代亚洲的了解估计来自谭恩美。
