Crazy Rich Asians

Not for me, though I'll probably still see the movie version at some point. The book felt like a ridiculous list of extremely wealthy people doing what extremely wealthy people do. Very hard to like any of the characters. I skimmed entire chapters, especially the many sections that detailed how many karats were in someone's jewelry, or how much they paid for their outfit. This is where I suspect the movie would outdo the book, using an item's purchase cost or name dropping a designer is a poor substitute for actual descriptions. I felt like I was continually rolling my eyes at the level of excess and over the top characterizations. The humor/satire of it just didn't do it for me. Pros were that it made me want to travel to Singapore and eat a bunch of yummy satay.

Also thought the ending was weird and abrupt, but then I realized there are two more books that I probably won't read.
