I had accidentally picked up the second book in Kevin Kwan's trillogy during a Kobo eBook sale, and found it lacking. I decided to try the first one so that I wasn't reading from the middle. This one was just as shallow and the characters were flat. The food descriptions were nice but that was about it. Nothing about the characters made me sympathize with them or like them. My fiance, who is Asian, found the book offensive. He said that it just reinforced the negative and racist stereotypes that Asian people face. He also found it worse because the book was written by an Asian author.
