If you have ever read something like Pride and Prejudice or Hanafiah Story by Sitta Karina's and like it, you might as well like this one. The cover might be a bit look shallow, the tittle even more, but as i finished it, it was light yet entertaining to spend some times and its not that shallow.

It is very modern, a lot of characters inside yet each one of them popped out beautifully. I think Kwan made it to speak out about how Asian (especially Chinese) culture is still there even though we move in this era. But don't worry, there is a family tree map inside just incase you have a bit of problem memorizing names and characters.

Yet in this four hundreds and three pages, the time range of the story is pretty much short. Unfolding too much truths for me in a period. It makes me want to know more sides because i still have a lot of "why" inside my head. Even better, if he had an idea to make it a sequel, family sequel kind of novel. The most disappointing part is the ending. As i started reading it, i feel like i chew a lot of words, a lot of characters and all. For me personally its just too "cut-off" i need more in the ending to finish such a book. Maybe like something certain, not just something that looks like its certain and i need to conclude it myself after all the reading. Orr... again, a sequel might be a good idea?

But after all, this one is really entertaining to read. Like one of those book when you finished reading it, you want to meet each characters inside, wondering how they look like if they're real. If they say book is kind of magic that could make you see another world? This one proved it right, a window to a Crazy Rich Asian's life.
