missellek 's review for:
Crazy Rich Asians
by Kevin Kwan
I wanted to like this book, but...nope. The author writes beautiful descriptions of the locales and the designer clothing, but the characters are not developed as richly. Do I need to know she is sitting on a velvet tufted blah,blah, blah settee or there are 10,000 crystals sewn onto this designer's gown (it took several women 9 months to sew them on!!!)? Probably not. The descriptions of rooms, clothes, and art are vivid, the characters are flat.
Just when the story started getting interesting, Rachel's Dad is alive (and in prison!?!), the story is quickly and unsatisfactorily wrapped up.
