À propos de cet audio

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Kevin Kwan, bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians (a major motion picture starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh and Gemma Chan) and China Rich Girlfriend, is back with an uproarious new novel of a family riven by fortune, an ex-wife driven psychotic with jealousy, a battle royal fought through couture gown sabotage, and the heir to one of Asia's greatest fortunes locked out of his inheritance.

When Nicholas Young hears that his grandmother, Su Yi, is on her deathbed, he rushes to be by her bedside—but he's not alone. The entire Shang-Young clan has convened from all corners of the globe to stake claim on their matriarch’s massive fortune. With each family member vying to inherit Tyersall Park—a trophy estate on 64 prime acres in the heart of Singapore—Nicholas’s childhood home turns into a hotbed of speculation and sabotage. As her relatives fight over heirlooms, Astrid Leong is at the center of her own storm, desperately in love with her old sweetheart Charlie Wu, but tormented by her ex-husband—a man hell bent on destroying Astrid’s reputation and relationship. Meanwhile Kitty Pong, married to China’s second richest man, billionaire Jack Bing, still feels second best next to her new step-daughter, famous fashionista Colette Bing. A sweeping novel that takes us from the elegantly appointed mansions of Manila to the secluded private islands in the Sulu Sea, from a kidnapping at Hong Kong’s most elite private school to a surprise marriage proposal at an Indian palace, caught on camera by the telephoto lenses of paparazzi, Kevin Kwan's hilarious, gloriously wicked new novel reveals the long-buried secrets of Asia's most privileged families and their rich people problems.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Flashy, funny.... Delicious, the juicy stuff of classic high-society drama.... Rich People Problems is a fun tabloid romp full of over-the-top shenanigans, like a society party brawl that ruins both a Ramon Orlina glass sculpture of the hostess’s breasts and ‘a special pig that had only eaten truffles its entire life and was flown in from Spain....’ A memorable, laugh-out-loud Asian glitz fest that’s a pure pleasure to read.” —USA Today

“I gobbled all three volumes of Kevin Kwan’s gossipy, name-droppy and wickedly funny Crazy Rich Asians trilogy as if they were popcorn. (Really fresh, still-warm popcorn, with that good European butter… but I digress.) The novels, set among three intergenerational and ultrarich Chinese families and peppered with hilarious explanatory footnotes, are set mostly in Singapore but flit easily from one glamorous world city to another…. Irresistible.” —The Seattle Times

“Kevin Kwan has done it again. The mastermind behind the delicious Crazy Rich Asians series has drawn a cult-like following with his extravagant tales of Asia’s upper echelon. He’s back at with the series’s final installment, Rich People Problems (rest assured, it’s just as enthralling as the trilogy’s first two volumes).” —InStyle

I loved the finale of this trilogy; I had read the original book in the series (Crazy Rich Asians) years ago when it first came out, then saw the movie and decided to get the next 2 on Audible. I was not disappointed. I saw comments from others that RIch People Problems focused on other characters besides Nick and Rachel but the trilogy is not a love story, it is about the over-the-top & out-of-touch-with-reality lives and circumstances of this particular circle of asians. It was actually a delight to listen to, the author went into minute detail about fashion and real estate or jewels BECAUSE that is so very important to the lives of his characters. Pure awesome entertainment.

Perfectly highlights the "over the top" lifestyle

Best to read Crazy Rich Asians first, all three in the trilogy were so funny! Lol a lot! Wish there was a fourth!

Great listen/read, I really enjoyed it. I would say I enjoyed it just as much as Crazy Rich Asians. They’re moments when the book directs its self to unnecessary detail, that led me to fast forward a couple of minutes.

The last 7 chapters was outstanding. I would highly recommend this novel.

Great book, has it’s bland moments.

Should someone make a film based on this story. Really liked the tone, expression used narrating this book.

Great story

I feel like a lot of people say this but I'm going to say it anyway; the first book was the best book in the series. That being said, I enjoyed this book much more than the second book. There is a lot of loose ends tied up, characters finally saying what they feel and doing things for themselves, rather than doing what society expects them to do. And you see another side to the grandmother which wasn't really shown in the first two books which was really touching.

Ties it up nicely

The entire series is most entertaining! Hope there will be many sequels as a few if the subplots remain unresolved.

waiting for the sequels!
