Welcome to Litsy!

Very interesting. The description in the picture is perfect! Amy Chua makes me seem like a slothful parent 😂 Narrated by the author.

Controversial book but author says it‘s a satirical memoir. She‘s picking on herself. I enjoyed it and will take it with a grain of salt. It‘s certainly not perfect but it is entertaining.

4/5 🌟
Short, easy memoir. I enjoyed the honesty and humour. She has received a lot of negative criticism regarding her parenting style but I read memoirs not to judge but to learn about others. I'm glad I read this.

Raised in Asia, this form of upbringing is not alien to me... Though Amy Chua may have taken it up a notch.
Tagging this as #somethingaboutsurvival as this is how parents teach their children how to "survive" in Asia.

I am always #runningacrossthinicewithtigers trying to navigate mothering teens. Alternately exhilarating and terrifying! #winterwonderland

#WinterWonderland This memoir caused quite a media sensation when it was published in 2011. Amy Chua, a Chinese born and raised mom (living in the US) penned a “how to” guide to parenting Western born/raised children with Eastern values. This book left many #RunningAcrossThinIceWithTigers it definitely struck a chord with parents on both sides of the globe. I found it both thought provoking and entertaining.

I know this is an #unpopularopinion but I enjoyed reading this book. Also, liking a book does not mean I agree with her style of parenting. I got curious about this after she discussed the book at a lit fest.

WOW! I love Amy Chua! I love the way she dreams BIG for her children. She does not accept mediocrity. She just wants what's BEST for her children. She is very motivated, just very INTENSE. If you disapprove her parenting style then just look at her 2 children. Her children are very succesful and confident. I would love to have kids like her.I wouldn't do what Amy Chua is doing but she has some good advice.

Remember when this book came out and the hype around it? I read it six years ago. Much like other years-ago reads, I recall nothing.

I really hate this lady. How far in until she is humbled?

This month's book club has an Asian theme.
