The Crazy Rich Asians Trilogy Box Set

Estou amando esse livro. Muito bom

Llego bien mi pedido, se ven hermosos los libros

So, my BFF of Asian descent told me I had to read this. She listened to the tapes while driving (which apparently are all in different voices) and found them hysterical, so she felt it was right up my alley. And I thought the movie was fun, filled with great costumes, a fabulous wedding, and a touching ending. So fine, I thought I'd make the leap and buy the entire set.It's rare, these days, that you find a book that you look forward to reading every night; even more rare, a book that you think "gee, can't wait for the next one" - but "Crazy Rich Asians" and the two sequels included in this set by Kevin Kwan were just such books for me.It was a delight to follow the adventures of Nick and Rachel, Peik Lin, Edison, Astrid, and so many others - as they navigate the world of old money, old generations and old perceptions ... and everything new. Love, jealousy, avarice, boredom, and desire for power all play a part in the complex family dynamics - as they do somehow in every truly good novel, regardless of setting. And the food! Reading about all the culinary delights in times of Covid, as we're restricted in our dining options, is just painful. So many tempting descriptions.There wasn't a single character that felt out of place, or a little off, in Kwan's storytelling - which was all done with a touch of whimsy, humor, and the occasional sarcasm. Delightful.Thanks for reading my review - I hope it was helpful!

What a lovely story, that inspired an excellent movie. You can not help but care much for the initial young couple as they suffer through their lives at the hands of the lad's 'too rich' and eccentric family. World travel and immaculate fashion abounds through Europe and South Asia, in jungles and with WW II heroes, it is all here, written so expressively, and lovingly by KKwan. A wonderful trilogy that passed faaar too quickly. And I hear more movies are coming! Sweeeeet!!! Buy it and ENJOY! dlw

Der Anfang ist lähmend: Dauern erfährt man, wi die reichen Chinesen sich trffen, wer welche Verwandschaft hat und was sie alles kaufen. Ich kann mich in keinem armen Chinesen wiederfinden, um ihn zu bedauern. Einfach nur boring.Allerdings habe ich erst dreißig Seiten gelesen.
