jewellspring 's review for:

4.0

Easy read. Great food for thought, especially for parents who care about success for their kids. I so enjoyed Chua's honesty wrapped up in her tongue-in-cheek hyperbole. She didn't take herself too seriously, yet held up the mirror to her choices and really looked, letting us in on the reflection, too. Bless her heart for some of the parent-wars horror she had to endure when the book was first released. With the ease of this read, I hope lots of "gentle parents" give it a try and let their mirror be held up for a glance. I'm sure glad I did. PS I started the book last week, but read most of it in one day.
