“Few have the guts to parent in public. Amy [Chua]'s memoir is
brutally honest, and her willingness to share her struggles is a
gift. Whether or not you agree with her priorities and approach,
she should be applauded for raising these issues with a thoughtful,
humorous and authentic voice.” —TIME
“Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is entertaining, bracingly honest
and, yes, thought-provoking.” —The New York Times Book Review
“[A] riveting read . . . Far from being strident, the book's tone
is slightly rueful, frequently self-deprecating and entirely aware
of its author's enormities . . . Chua's story is far more
complicated and interesting than what you've heard to date—and well
worth picking up . . . I guarantee that if you read the book,
there'll undoubtedly be places where you'll cringe in recognition,
and others where you'll tear up in empathy.” —San Francisco
Chronicle
“Courageous and thought-provoking.” —David Brooks, The New York
Times
“Breathtakingly personal . . . [Chua’s] tale is as compelling as a
good thriller.” —The Financial Times
"[F]ascinating. . . . the most stimulating book on the subject of
child rearing since Dr. Spock." —Seattle
Post-Intelligencer
“Chua’s memoir, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, is a quick, easy
read. It’s smart, funny, honest and a little heartbreaking . . .”
—Chicago Sun-Times
“Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother hit the parenting hot button,
but also a lot more, including people's complicated feelings about
ambition, intellectualism, high culture, the Ivy League, strong
women and America's standing in a world where China is ascendant.
Chua's conviction that hard work leads to inner confidence is a
resonant one.” —Chicago Tribune
“Readers will alternately gasp at and empathize with Chua's
struggles and aspirations, all the while enjoying her writing,
which, like her kid-rearing philosophy, is brisk, lively and
no-holds-barred. This memoir raises intriguing, sometimes
uncomfortable questions about love, pride, ambition, achievement
and self-worth that will resonate among success-obsessed parents .
. . Readers of all stripes will respond to [Battle Hymn of
the] Tiger Mother.” —The Washington Post
