I wasn't expecting the book to alternate between different people so I didn't understand why I was suddenly reading about one of the rich families. However, I came to conclude that the book is like a soap opera and that Kevin Kwan needed to prep the scene so that people could see from all angles, the attitude towards the high society wedding that they all would be attending and Rachel. <br />There's a family tree in the book where you will be able to see how all of them are related to each other. <br />I'm glad that my review was some use to you and I really hope you enjoy reading the book. <br />I'm Laotian but I have lived all my life in Australia. I understand how you might have thought that I was Caucasian. My alias is Carlyn Brody is a western name. On another note, Jon Bear is a full Caucasian American as far as I know. ..Carlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01226024126682885326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-93806949401535283.post-49361224801971381702014-03-24T05:48:39.050-07:002014-03-24T05:48:39.050-07:00I was looking at the bestsellers shelf at a bookst...I was looking at the bestsellers shelf at a bookstore recently and this book's cover immediately caught my eye because of the loud and minimalistic, glittery design as well as the hilarious title. <br /><br />After reading the blurb, I was put off by how many different characters there were and it seemed like a story that would be quite difficult to keep up with. Also, I was worried that I would get annoyed and angry from reading about the snobbish and hateful rich people, haha!<br /><br />Your review summarises everything in a much better way that is easy for someone to digest and get a rough idea of what the book is about. And now that I know it's a comedy, I'm really excited about reading it myself! Thank you for the great tip, Carlyn!<br /><br />And, oh my. I had no idea you were Asian! I've been reading your blog this whole time under the impression that you were an Australian Caucasian (I hope this does not come across as offensive/insensitive, I certainly did not mean for it to be). <br /><br />May I ask what race you are? :))Renaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13906904496632143449noreply@blogger.com
