The last book in the Crazy Rich Asians series nicely ties everything together. We find out quite a bit about the legendary Ah Ma too. Glad I found this series.

A book that is to be read and re read again and again. In today’s world where moral deprivations are being celebrated, here is a book that encourages its people to be really good and true and honest and caring and to strive to be better every day. This is one book I’ll keep in my bookshelf forever.

Great book. Like it even better than the first one, Crazy Rich Asians. The plot is much more interesting, the characters are even more richer. The detailed description of the lifestyle of the obscenely rich is fabulous. Lots of funny one liners sprinkled throughout the story, too.

One Hundred Years of Solitude

Gabriel García Márquez

DID NOT FINISH: 0%

One of the worst books I’ve come across in recent years. Very boring, very crazy, very complicated, very unhinged. Not for me at all. Might have received awards and star ratings, but I found it unbelievably tiring. I read a comment somewhere that the author was “high” while writing this and I must say I do not disagree.

Must be one of the first books I bought. Such a treasure. Interesting story too. Love that Ned is a part of the stories. Quite a complicated plot, but everything tied in so well at the end. Love even the crispy brown old pages. Also found my old bookmark in here, real nostalgic trip down memory lane. A quick read too 😍
