If you are so confident about your parenting style, I am sure this book is not for you. I guess this book is for those who are still searching for the right balance, still searching for that right combination of western and chinese parenting philosophy, still searching for the right answer on how to raise a well-adjusted children. Whether her children is well-adjusted is not the point of the book.
<P>Actually I feel I should thank her for the marketing strategy. Without the pitch, I would miss the book, which I consider it is my loss, not hers. There is lots of food for thought in her book, even though I have no intention to copy her action. Being a tiger mom requires tons of dedication and sacrifice. I am not sure average mom is ready for that even if this is the best parenting method in the world.</P>

I am not sure if she is a good mother. But I am certain she is a smart salesperson. Her provocative title has earned her so much attention and controversy, which is great for book sale - the more controversy the better the sales.
<P>I bought this book and read several chapters so far. Please don't be mislead by the article in WSJ. This book is so funny and thought provoking that no matter what opionion you had before you read the book, it will make you think again. Also please don't take too seriously on some of what she said in the book, otherwise, you miss the point, even though there is a grain of truth in those words as well. But her shocking honesty impressived me most. It is kind of like soul-search. Even though you may have no plan to raise your children her way, it is good to know the critical thinking process behind some of her methods. It is that process, not the conclusion that fascinated me the most. My 2 cents.</P>
