Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother (BHTM) [1]

I'm only halfway thru.. but I have so much I want to share with you..

in the first few chapters she went into such detail i thought only you, violinists could emphatise. "violin hickey" she mentions.. and immediately i thought of you, of grace. i felt so in touch with the violin really... and that only us, strings, can understand her..

She goes on to elaborate at how she works at it.. oh man.. so close to the heart.. and i bought the book really cos of the controversy it churned up in the papers and reviews...

the descriptions she put into how she tigered her girls to practice put me into work as well.. haha.. drilling the scales which i just tried... oh man.. if not for this bk, i think i'd nvr want to touch scales EVER man.. haha.. but if i dun touch it, my LH won't grow.. so yeah.. i'm so glad for the book.. though i'm only halfway thru..

i actually dun feel she's such terrible tiger though the facts put into the book may seem otherwise to readers.. she loves her kids and the nice things she did for them and nice words she put to them were actually all partially hidden..

*fully recommended!!!!*
