I finally read this book over the weekend. I got it from the library, so I am out no money. Definitely worth the trip to the library. smile I thought Amy Chua was a very witty writer, and I would shelf the book in the humorist section. Yes, she did some things I wouldn't ever do, but I could understand some of it, and even relate, after reading the book.

The excerpts published in magazines/newspapers certainly did their job! The publisher was wise in picking those selections.
