Book Review
China Rich Girlfriend (2015)

by Kevin Kwan

  You can't really be sure what constitutes "literature" until about a century after the initial publication.  There are plenty of examples of novels that were either considered "light" and/or "popular" for decades after publication (or weren't considered at all) before ascending to a position in the contemporary canon.  Charles Dickens and Jane Austen are two great examples.  For examples closer to our time, Stephen King is often mentioned as a potential canon level figure lurking on the best-seller list. 

  So it is with an open mind that I have approached Kevin Kwan and his Crazy Rich Asians trilogy- China Rich Girlfriend is the second book in the trilogy.  They've been fun- especially as Audiobooks, because, and I'm sorry I keep mentioning this in the context of Audiobooks- I LOVE the accents. Of course, it's not as good as the first book, but I'm still going to listen to the third book.
