christielli 's review for:

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was extremely well-written, smart, self-deprecating, and an interesting contrast of Chinese and Western culture. It was especially interesting to read the afterword where Chua describes the backlash to her parenting style that she received after her book was published. Even though her lifestyle is extreme, there's no doubt that she loves her daughter, and no parent is perfect. For the brilliant writing alone, this book is an excellent read!
