A review by alisonjfields
Five Star Billionaire by Tash Aw
4.0
Pretty great bordering on brilliant. Great language, mostly wonderful characters. Could have been a Five Star Book, but for one character whose story seemed tacked on to the rest for reasons I could not quite figure. That said, it offers plenty of insight and reads breathless as a guilty pleasure.
As a sidenote: it did not particularly inspire any new desire to visit Shanghai, though I am now very curious about Velvet Underground-listening hipsters in Kuala Lumpur.
