Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

Story about " This is a story about a mother, two daughters, and two dogs. This was supposed to be a story of how Chinese parents are better at raising kids than Western ones. But instead, it's about a bitter clash of cultures, a fleeting taste of glory, and how I was humbled by a thirteen year old."

This a very fun book. It is a memoir of a mother. I know many people get too political of this book. Some say the author is a horrible mother or listing all right and wrong parenting method. I don't think Amy really care.

For fun, I will so remember her daughter "Lulu" call her "Lord Voldemort. The reason the book call the Tiger mother is because she was born in the year of Tiger. And myself is born in the year of Tiger, and during the book I keep thinking Amy and I have the similar view. 

One of the take away from this book is to believing one potential. What a trash take away, you might say. To completely believing oneself potential when you and the person itself has doubt is hard. When I look at the piano practice sheet the mother for her daughter and one of their weekend schedule it humble me. 

I am sure there are more take away from this. But I have to think about it because the booking is like having many mini story of Amy family, foreigner immigrant, generation decline, etc At the moment, I have to think about the story what really take away that I will remember for the future. I am excited about the booking, and like to write some review firstly. 

This is the official first book I also brought with audio version. I enjoy it very much.
