I mistakenly thought this was a parenting book its not, I initially picked it up because so many modern parenting books have quoted “tiger mom” in a negative way I was intrigued. We are an international student host family so I did enjoy some of the west vs. east comparisons but all the negative publicity was totally justified the book itself doesn’t read cohesively, it’s not a story or a teaching book with morals, values, facts and proof. It’s simply this one woman’s confessional journal, I though all the seemingly random story telling was going to lead to a conclusion but about half way through I realized it wasn’t and the book was essentially a point less story, I finished it anyways and it was point less, it didn’t even have an ending the chapters just became less engaging as the writer fizzled out and eventually the words just stopped. Hmm very similar to a Chinese movie if you’ve ever watched one the credits just kind of appear at some point, there’s not really an end like we have in western films. All in all a disappointing read.
