S'està carregant… Rich People Problemsde Kevin Kwan
   No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. The first two were fluffy and fun. This one dragged and was weighed down by too much name dropping and unnecessary footnotes. All three would make great movies or TV series, though! (  ) eringill | Dec 25, 2022 |  Book three (and I hope the final installment) in the story of the uber wealthy Singaporean Young family. Nick hasn’t seen his grandmother in several years, since she disinherited him over his marriage to Rachel. But now Su Yi’s health crisis brings him … and his aunts and cousins … rushing back to Singapore to get one more visit with the dying matriarch. There’s plenty of drama, what with divorces, engagements, sex video scandals, stepchildren misbehaving, mega efforts to one-up each other, extravagant parties, and even plastic surgery for a pet fish. But the prize everyone wants is the fabulous estate – Tyersall Park. WHO will get it? I didn’t find this effort very engaging. I really wanted more of Nick and Rachel’s story, but they were side characters to all the drama. I did like the flashbacks to Su Yi’s youth and her experiences during WW2. However, on the whole Kwan writes these people so over-the-top that it’s hard to relate to any of them. I’m not even all that interested in what brand names they are touting. They are shallower that the damp spot on the sidewalk where I splashed a few drops of water. Oh well, it’s a relatively fast read and I found all the gossiping and back-biting mildly entertaining. (  ) BookConcierge | Oct 23, 2022 | Not as good as the other books but it did tie up all the various storylines. ( ) thewestwing | Aug 12, 2022 | Great finale to the trilogy.... (  ) AngelaLam | Feb 8, 2022 | Perhaps a third Crazy Rich Asians story wasn't needed but there were some unresolved issues in the from the first two. That is enough rich people problems and misery for me for awhile. ( ) MMc009 | Jan 30, 2022 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

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.
