Our view
“Crazy Rich Asians” is a satirical romantic comedy that doubles as a guided tour. Kevin Kwan opens the doors of a world of extravagantly rich families, drawn loosely from his Singapore childhood, and the reader laughs and learns at once; some enjoy the romance just as much. At more than five hundred pages it is long for a comedy. A good pick for anyone after something light and funny.
