A dizzily shopaholic comedy. . . . Wickedly delectable. . . . Offers refreshing nouveau voyeurism to readers who long ago burned out on American and English aspirational fantasies. . . . Hilarious.
-Janet Maslin, The New York Times
It's impossible not to get sucked into this satirical novel about the jet-setting lives of an enormous busybody family and its infinite Louboutin collection.
-Glamour
There's rich, there's filthy rich, and then there's crazy rich. . . . A Pride and Prejudice-like send-up.
-People
If this isn't the funniest book so far this year, it's up there. . . . Kwan, who grew up in Singapore, skewers his subjects deftly, stylishly, and completely-but with heart.
-The Denver Post
Deliciously decadent. . . . This 48-karat beach read is crazy fun. . . . [Read] Crazy Rich Asians, on an exotic beach in super-expensive sunglasses.
-Entertainment Weekly
An unputdownably funny, original, modern novel. . . . I actually couldn't put this book down to eat or to watch Downton Abbey.
-Plum Sykes, author of Bergdorf Blondes
Rachel's squeaky-clean naiveté is a clever foil to the intricate workings of the high-glamour Asian set around her. Chinese on the outside but all-American on the inside, she allows us to see the myriad nuances of intra-Asian culture that the novel goes to great lengths to show.
-Tash Aw, NPR
Rollicking. . . . A lively, generous story of shallow extravagance and human devotion.
-The Boston Globe
Original and fun, Crazy Rich Asians is quite a roller coaster trip. I loved it!
-Jackie Collins, author of The Power Trip
Delightfully soapy. . . . [Crazy Rich Asians] eats its chiffon cake and has it too, simultaneously tut-tutting many of its characters for their vapid materialism while reveling in the milieu's sybaritic excess.
-The Wall Street Journal
As spicily adventurous and lusciously satisfying as the renowned Singaporean street food Kevin Kwan's characters argue over; hot and sizzling, like the best satay, and dreamily transporting, like everyone's favorite dessert-goreng pisang. Feast on this outrageously funny and insightful novel of modern manners, and enjoy!
-Lisa See, author of Dreams of Joy and Shanghai Girls
[An] instant favorite. . . . Opulence and zaniness reign.
-O, The Oprah Magazine
Like Dynasty on steroids with more private jets, bigger houses, and a lot more money.
-VanityFair.com
Kevin Kwan gets it right in his debut novel steeped in love and dripping with money.
-Daily Candy
Both a deliciously satiric read and a Fodor's of sorts to the world of Singapore's fabulously moneyed, both new and old.
-The Daily News
Jane Austen, or maybe Edith Wharton, goes to Singapore, turning in this lively, entertaining novel of manners.
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Mordantly funny. . . . [A] winning summer satire.
-Vogue
A juicy, close anthropological read of Singapore high society.
-Elle
Shrewd, funny, sexy. . . . At once a love story and a potent combination of vintage Jackie Collins and early Evelyn Waugh.
-Michael Korda, author of Charmed Lives
A witty tongue-in-cheek frolic about what it means to be from really old money and what it's like to be crazy rich.
