About this listen
A hilarious and heartwarming New York Times best-selling novel - the basis for the acclaimed major motion picture!
"There's rich, there's filthy rich, and then there's crazy rich.... A Pride and Prejudice-like send-up about an heir bringing his Chinese-American girlfriend home to meet his ancestor-obsessed family.” (People)
When New Yorker Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home and quality time with the man she hopes to marry. But Nick has failed to give his girlfriend a few key details. One, that his childhood home looks like a palace; two, that he grew up riding in more private planes than cars; and three, that he just happens to be the country’s most eligible bachelor.
On Nick’s arm, Rachel may as well have a target on her back the second she steps off the plane, and soon, her relaxed vacation turns into an obstacle course of old money, new money, nosy relatives, and scheming social climbers.

But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she, and her King, needed. Because George has secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.

With its brilliant and brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld. A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo's epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched.

The story begins in 1962. On a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline, a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: a tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an actress, he soon learns, an American starlet, and she is dying. And the story begins again today, half a world away, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio's back lot - searching for the mysterious woman he last saw at his hotel decades earlier.

The was better than the movie.
After hearing about the movie from lots of friends I decided to start reading the book instead. Half way through the book I did watch the film because I was interested in seeing how different it would be compared. Yes, the book is more detailed than the movie and yes the book takes longer to get to the same point ( kind of) but there are points in the film I wish were in the book and vice-versa.
It is a good read for a beach day or a good audiobook for a long car ride but it doesn’t really stay with as a really good book should.

Enjoyable...and worthy of the hype!
Week after week, I kept seeing this movie showcased On Demand. As a voracious reader, I always like to read the book before seeing the movie. I'm beyond happy that I made the choice to read the book. I loved following the story of Rachel Chu, Nick Young and Astrid Young as they navigate their families, upcoming marriages and other relationships. I appreciated how the different segments of the story focused on the different protagonists, while also introducing us to other characters that influenced the story. It's also a cultural experience, as I learned about cultural norms, wealth, and the livelihoods in Chinese countries. The story is chockfull of villains, although not in the traditional sense, and heroes that you cheer for. There are also key characters who have motives that may reveal them as heroes or villains in the further entries of the series. The book is packed with humor and heart, with some harsh truths about family and cultural assimilation that resonate for all cultures and races. I also have to acknowledge that this book advances Asian representation in media and demonstrates that culturally specific stories can be relatable and enjoyable for all readers.

So Much Fun
This book is so much fun! I felt like I was getting all of the gossip about the most fascinating group of people. The narrator did a great job with the different accents and voices!
The writing was distracting-- someone please tell Kevin Kwan he doesn't need so many dialogue tags-- but I was able to get over it for the story's sake! I'm excited to see what everyone gets up to in the sequels.

a fun listen
the story is more in depth than the movie, of course, so if you liked the movie I imagine you would love the audio book. the narrator is quite talented and nice to listen to.
