A review by esmietee
Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua

2.0

Isn't it all a bit trite? The children as an extension of the parent, the fixation on status without interrogation, the "battle hymn" of what is apparently a war with the inherent and intolerable awfulness in one's children, the self-importance of it all... oh also! they are quite nonchalantly rich. the abusive war rages on until it suddenly doesn't, with hardly a transitional moment of reflection -- what a neat and commendable character arc.
