"I read passages of this several years ago... can't quite remember why, although I do remember it hanging around my bedroom with a bookmark in it for a long time - and that I found the parts I did read... well, maybe not enjoyable, but certainly illuminating."
"I read this for a class on ancestry. My teacher recommended it because I have German ancestry, and this book was one of the most illuminating I've read in a long time. It helped me understand my upbringing in the light of German culture, and the culture my great-grandparents, grandparents, and even ancestors earlier, were raised in.
I highly recommend this book for anyone with German, or even Scandanavian or European roots."
"Ini adalah contoh buku populer sains yang jelek. Sains haruslah obyektif, Miller kehilangan hal tersebut ketika membuat kesimpulan pada buku itu. Pertama: sampel data diambil dari pasien Miller sendiri, yang jumlahnya bisa dihitung dengan jari. Kedua: pemisahan antara opini dan data pengamatan tidak jelas. Ketiga: penarikan kesimpulan terlalu banyak diwarnai asumsi.
Saya setuju memukuli anak bukan ide yang baik untuk mendidik anak dan memang bisa dipahami susah mencari cukup banyak sampel data untuk kasus pemukulan anak dari berbagai background untuk menghilangkan bias...tapi hal itu perlu kalau ingin meneliti sejauh apa dampak penggunaan kekerasan dalam mendidik anak. Pengamatan dari hanya beberapa kasus TIDAK BISA dijadikan generalisasi."
"I read this book when I was a new mother with my first baby. It helped me become aware of and process the hurts I had experienced as a child at the hands of well-meaning parents and teachers. In turn this helped me become aware of my own tendencies to repeat these patterns, and made it easier to be more kind, loving and patient as a mother."
