There is an audio bug with this book which affected the quality of her voice.

Any additional comments?

The first few chapters were really interesting. In a nutshell, using her own experiences the author discussed how parenting is contextualized by culture and how cultures can "borrow" different practices. She entertains the notion of different parenting-styles within a culture instead of a one-size fits all approach. But then the book trailed off ending in a rant about "what's wrong with today's societal values". I could almost picture the author shaking her finger while she professed her displeasure about how society values beauty and sports above brains. Too bad. This book had so much promise

The narration was not good at all. Maybe it was a technical difficulty on this particular book-I haven't listened to anything else with this narrator so I can't say. I couldn't listen to this book at all because the narration was so awful. Flat, robotic, I had to stop the book when I was just barely into it. I can't say how the story is because I couldn't listen to it.

No. The narration was so bad I couldn't listen to it.
