Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

An eye-opening insight into the Chinese culture of child-raising.

interesting view on parenthood. sometimes exaggerated views but honest...

I don't think I'll be raising my kids the “Chinese” way, but it makes me question the “Western” way as well. A great story I enjoyed it, and it made me think about a lot of things.

After all the drama and controversy surrounding this book, I suppose I expected it to be something other than a simple memoir of raising children. Chua's book is funny and ironic and not a horrific instruction manual on raising children in the “Chinese way.” She is not blind to her own failings and reveals the universal parental truth - everyone wants what they believe is best for their kids.
