Laurie is sure love at first sight doesn't exist anywhere but the movies. But then, through a misted-up bus window one snowy December day, she sees a man who she knows instantly is the one. Their eyes meet, there's a moment of pure magic...and then her bus drives away. Certain they're fated to find each other again, Laurie spends a year scanning every bus stop and cafe in London for him. But she doesn't find him, not when it matters anyway. Instead they "reunite" at a Christmas party, when her best friend, Sarah, giddily introduces her new boyfriend: the man from the bus.

In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box. But when the Eastwood sisters - James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna - join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement.

From his home in New Jersey, where he lives with his old-world mother and rebellious sister, Oscar dreams of becoming the Dominican J. R. R. Tolkien and, most of all, of finding love. But he may never get what he wants, thanks to the Fuku: the curse that has haunted Oscar's family for generations, dooming them to prison, torture, tragic accidents, and, above all, ill-starred love. Oscar, still waiting for his first kiss, is just its most recent victim.

When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel", "Hansel and Gretel", and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style.

Publisher's Summary
A hilarious and heartwarming New York Times best-selling novel - the basis for the acclaimed major motion picture!
"There's rich, there's filthy rich, and then there's crazy rich.... A Pride and Prejudice-like send-up about an heir bringing his Chinese-American girlfriend home to meet his ancestor-obsessed family.” (People)
When New Yorker Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home and quality time with the man she hopes to marry. But Nick has failed to give his girlfriend a few key details. One, that his childhood home looks like a palace; two, that he grew up riding in more private planes than cars; and three, that he just happens to be the country’s most eligible bachelor.
On Nick’s arm, Rachel may as well have a target on her back the second she steps off the plane, and soon, her relaxed vacation turns into an obstacle course of old money, new money, nosy relatives, and scheming social climbers.

Just in time for the movie!
I travel a bit for my job, and read this book when it first came out. (I went old school and put it in a book jacket so people wouldn't think I was reading something perhaps racially inappropriate - you know, book in disguise). In prep for the movie I just did a fast audible / book re-read and my daughter did as well so we could analyze the similarities and differences between the book and the movie -- loved both a LOT, and yep, some interesting differences. Looking forward to the sequel now.

Good story but a bit slow with all the dialogue
I felt the story was good, with good themes and descriptions but a bit slow overall as 75% of the story was told through characters dialogue, and a lot of the conversations seemed to be fluff or pointless information. I did like the story though and the narrator, and will most likely give his other books a try!

Intricate and Colourful
What an intricate and colourful tale of many characters. At this point I’ve read both the book and watched the movie and I believe both have their merits. I felt that the ending was a bit abrupt at the end of this book but it was a very interesting, detailed, wild ride (just found out it was a trilogy, oops, now the ending makes more sense). I really loved the movie. Though the book was enjoyable, I think I preferred the movie version, which is kind of shocking. I do recommend this book. It gives a whole new look into the rich world, not just surface level. The amount of colourful characters personalities, both charming and problematic are astonishing. What a well written story.

Terribly performed accents/pronunciations
The narrator’s accent is terrible and distracts from the enjoyment of the book. It would have been more believable if the narrator could more accurately (or at least more closely) say the Chinese words and better execute the accents. As it is, it is annoying and distracting.

You're better off reading this light-hearted romp
What disappointed you about Crazy Rich Asians?
The narrator may be Chinese, but she fails to imitate the Singaporean accent, nor does she pronounce the various Cantonese, Hokkien, or Singaporean words correctly.
I obtained a physical copy of the book, and there are many useful, entertaining footnotes that have been omitted in the audiobook.

Narration is horrible
What disappointed you about Crazy Rich Asians?
I had a lot of difficulty getting through the narration of this book. I speak Chinese and know how the asian dialects sound; the narrator obviously does not know either. It was painfully annoying listening to her attempts to mimic the accents and the language -- it was downright insulting at times. Her British accent was fine but anytime she tried to speak with an accent or use the Chinese words, I cringed and unfortunately, it ruined the book for me. I think I would have enjoyed the book much more if I had read it rather than listening to the narrator.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The general story is interesting.
How could the performance have been better?
A narrator who actually spoke Chinese and could mimic the accents, without being insulting
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The story kept me going or else I would have given up on it after the first few chapters.

Entertaining, Fun Listen
If you could sum up Crazy Rich Asians in three words, what would they be?
Worth the Credit!
What other book might you compare Crazy Rich Asians to and why?
This book is totally entertaining, and it is all about money, eye candy, jet setting and living LARGE! It's not deep but that's ok - it's entertaining, and the family dynamics among the crazy rich are interesting. I also liked the love story story between Rachel and Nick. I liked both characters and was rooting for them throughout the book. This book is a little like Devil Wears Prada in tone and absorption. Again, not deep but very very entertaining.
Which scene was your favorite?
When Rachel Chu deals with the fish incident. She takes the high road and I admired her for dealing with the non stop backstabbing and gossip. She was the recipient of some serious mean girl action.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I really enjoyed this book - it's the perfect beach read type book.
Any additional comments?
I hope to see more Kevin Kwan audio books in the future!

Terrible narration. Read the book instead.
The story is fine but the narrator is appalling. She can only do the American accent. The rest l, British, Australian, Chinese Singaporean are terrible, most ending up sounding exaggerated and strange and even Indian at times. Pronunciation is also appallingly bad. For a book that has such particular language and terms, one would think that it is imperative to find someone who could actually get it right. Even French terms are so terribly mangled, it sounds like you're listening to Siri. This is a travesty, making the whole book unbeatable to listen to.

Just Okay
I purchased this book because it had a pretty good rating, although I must say I was disappointed. The writing itself was great as it really painted a picture of the characters and places. But the story was lackluster, and the characters rather boring. It was honestly a little hard to get through. The only time my interest was peaked was in the final few chapters. The performance was great, but overall the book was just okay. Not something I would recommend. It is also supposed to be made into a movie, which hopefully will be better.
Thanks,

Annoying Narration
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Narrate the book without the exagerrated accents so we can hear the words clearly. The constant shifting back and forth of accents and voices made it difficult to follow the dialogue.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Lynn Chen?
Anyone incapapble of doing "chinese" accents. The accents in a different light could be thought of as offensive stereotypes.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
no
