Bullet Work flies out of the starting gate and sprints to the finish line in a way that keeps you never knowing what is round the next bend. There are lots of twists and turns leading to an ending I never expected. There is a huge part of me that loved this book. It was full of twists and turns and had an ending I never expected. Definitely a difficult book to put down with truly likable characters. At times it had me wincing but I believe only good books can do this. I would give it 5 stars but I found the gift of one of the main characters a little far fetched, although the author does a good job in his summing up at the end of explaining it may not be as far fetched as it appears. This book is really worth at least 4 and a half stars despite making me tired from being late to bed because I just couldn't put it down!
This was a quick and easy read that never lost my attention. The whole theory was fascinating. I have to say, while I agree that it would be nice if American children had more respect for their parents and elders, on most other points of how this Chinese "Tiger" mother raised her children, I totally disagreed. Personally, I think children should have some fun while they can. But that is why this book is so great - it really gets you thinking. Definitely would recommend it, whether you're a parent or not.
