clar2d2 's review for:
How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia
by Mohsin Hamid
There were a lot of things I enjoyed about this book.
It was interesting how this novel was told in the second person, how nobody was referred to by their names, and how it was told kind of like a self-help book, but I didn't get confused.
There were also moments when the writing really impressed me, and I had to stop reading for a second to just think to myself, "Wow, that was a good sentence".
At the same time though, I never felt that I was able to fully immerse myself in this story or feel any sort of attachment to any of characters. Maybe it was because it was told in second person. Maybe it was because I couldn't relate to the characters. Maybe it was because I didn't read it at the right time. Whatever it was, it prevented me from experiencing this book the way I had wanted to, so I was left feeling okay with but underwhelmed by this book overall.
