nappower 's review for:

2.0

If i were feeling generous, I'd give it another half star, but I'm not and also that's not possible anyway. I'll be a tiger reviewer doling out stars, so there. Glad that Chua has a sense of humor, but for me, that didn't translate into her writing coming across as witty or funny. Quick read.

I don't want to get into all the issues here, but I guess I'm glad I read the book, which clearly struck many nerves. A lot of the commentary on it is is actually what bugs me, like what people end up taking away. But that's not here nor there. Or maybe it is. Basically, it's one story that will now stand representational and reductive of everything. So get out there and write, mamas.
