This wasn't as funny as I was expecting it to be, but it was more poignant, which is a tradeoff I will take. I honestly think it would've been better as Charles Wang vs the World because he was by far the most interesting character. I would've loved to read about how this Asian immigrant came to America and made it into the rarefied and predominantly white world of Beverly Hills and what losing it all meant. I also really liked his second wife, Barbra, and her backstory. Charles and Barbra were so much more fascinating than his kids and they dragged the story down for me.
