A review by anjanettew13
Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua

3.0

I appreciated Chua's perspective. I guess I would like to turn a blind eye to some of the examples of Western parenting that she comments on. However, I highly doubt Americans have the patent on lazy... let's face it laziness of the spirit and the body is what it seems she is observing. Like many, I read the NYT article on her so I was expecting a different kind of book. I found the book interesting in that I like to read how foreigners see us and it delivers in that account. In some odd way it did inspire me to hold strong on my desires for my children and to not give in to them too much....
