agenender 's review for:
Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother
by Amy Chua
Intriguing. She needs to learn some self control. I think she did what many of us would do if (1) we weren't too lazy, and (2) we didn't have the ability to resist our first impulses. Fortunately, most of us are able to control ourselves! There is no way that this is a normal way for kids to grow up in ANY country. I do think that she completely understands that she was not taking the right road--her descriptions of her approach to dog training are really hilarious and show that she is laughing at herself throughout this book. While she never comes out and says she was wrong, there are enough tongue in cheek comments to make it pretty clear that she gets it now. Pretty brave, really. Her parenting method comes pretty clearly from a place of self interest and self promotion, but I think she's honest about that in an indirect way. Glad I read it.
