    All decent parents want to do what's best for their children. What Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother reveals is that the Chinese just have a totally different idea of how to do that. Western parents try to respect their children's individuality, encouraging them to pursue their true passions and providing a nurturing environment. The Chinese believe that the best way to protect your children is by preparing them for the future and arming them with skills, strong work habits, and inner confidence.

    Diana - Audible says: "Surprisingly touching (and well-read)"
    "The Subtitle Should Be "Diary of a Mad Housewife""

    Story
    Would you try another book from Amy Chua and/or Amy Chua?

    Nope. This woman deserves to be spanked for her arrogance. It is one extended boast.


    Has Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother turned you off from other books in this genre?

    No - loved Bringing Up Bebe


    Would you be willing to try another one of Amy Chua’s performances?

    No - I can't believe the supercilious tone. Made me want to slap her.


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother?

    It's too much about her daughters' musical careers, and not enough about mothering. And it completely lacks self-awareness. She comes off as an ass.


    Any additional comments?

    This woman scares me. And she bores me too.
