sucktastic 's review for:
Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother
by Amy Chua
conflicted as to the rating, to be honest. my two best friends when i was in high school were asian ( ... still are, i assume) and this is how they were raised and it makes me sad, b/c there was evident damage at the time and it just seemed so unnecessary. so subject-matter-wise, i hated it--though i knew i would. the writing, on the other hand, was engaging and accessible--worth 3 out of 5 stars. obviously, i split the difference. and for what it's worth, i think there are positive aspects of that particular parenting method--but the serious emotional abuse sure isn't one of them.
