Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua was a definite thumbs up. I live in a community with a large Asian population, but am a "western parent" according to Chua's description. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the reasons behind the way "Chinese parents" raise their children and the way a "Chinese parent" views "western parents". Chua's writing is crisp and to-the-point. The end of the book was a little anti-climactic-- I expected a judgement on which style of parenting was better-- but I appreciate how Chua didn't try to make conclusions about something she doesn't know the answer to (she pushed her children academically and musically, but then let up some when her 13 year-old rebelled).
