A review by crimsoncor
Sex and Vanity by Kevin Kwan

4.0

I haven't read CRA (seen the movie), so it didn't feel as duplicative of that plot as other reviewers claim. It takes a lot of skill to write a novel where every character is fundamentally dislikeable (even the ostensible "hero") and yet still have the novel be greatly enjoyable to read. See Sam Sykes for when this goes terrible wrong. But it all works here, even though you really spend most of the books rooting for something terrible to happen to everyone.
