It needs some editing, but over all it's an interesting memoir. I thought it was just European parents who beat and berated their children, nice to learn other cultures parents are no better. Perhaps it's just the peasant varieties that are so awful. It's good Mr. Nair escaped to a better life in Canada. I think maybe he should have included more of his life since moving there. I see he's written other books, so I 'm guessing he's come to finally learn to enjoy them!
I received a Kindle arc from Netgalley in exchangfe for a fair review.

This memoir about a boy growing up in the Indian school system is fascinating! Author Ajay Nair engages the reader with a touch of humor in an otherwise serious story about the high stakes of studying in India's schools and universities.
