This is the first Kyoichiro Kaga Mystey I have read. Yes, the mystery was important, but what I really enjoyed was the chance to meet the citizens of a traditional Japanese neighborhood. Yes, the mystery was solved, but more importantly, the people in Kaga’s neighborhood had their lives enriched because of his interest in them.

I liked it!! Fun! Funny! Are there really people like this!?

i really liked this book...very fun read and thought the characters were great, i love books about poor people in europe who make livings in weird ways but end up very rich in the end. highly recommend for people who like horror and heist books/films’byyeerre

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I liked how much more detail it gave than the movie, which I made the mistake of watching first. I really like books that each chapter is told from a different character's perspective which was the format of Crazy Rich Asians. Please pick up this book, you won't be disappointed!

This is part of an amusing series that gives another view of Asian life. I contrast this series with the one by Loung Ung. You might be better off reading the series by Loung Ung.

I love to travel and this book took the reader through Singapore.

I loved this book from start to finish! It was interesting the entire time. I had a hard time putting it down.

There was a huge fuss made for this book right out of the gate, but I took my time picking it up. I wish I had taken more time. Peppered with vulgarity and one rather incongruously violent scene, never have I read a novel where nearly all the characters are so shallow and poorly drawn. I suppose it's not wrong to have the characters constantly talking about shoes and clothes and cars and planes and yachts (that's the main theme of the book), but the narrator, i.e. the author, seems intent on displaying his own encyclopedic knowledge of all things superficial. To echo a criticism I read on another site: just because you have shallow characters, doesn't mean the writing should be shallow too; go read some F. Scott Fitzgerald. Oh well. I'm sure this book and the subsequent movie has made the author rich (though not crazy rich), which I guess is entirely the point.

It’s too difficult to relate to and read through.

Really enjoyed this book. Yes, there were times when the descriptions went on and on and also all of the different names and characters were hard to keep track of at first but it was a fun read. 100% better than the movie.
