0. Too little Ramanujan, too much Ken.
1. Repetitive and filled with redundant details.
2. Don't read this book if you're not a math prodigy in search for some guidance.
3. It's a lament about tiger parenting, which he hypocritically ends up being thankful for.

Spoiler

I thought the moral of the story was going to be: "Screw tiger parents, you are worth something, do what you want." I got this impression because he got me furious by paraphrasing his parents stifling and harmful utterances. Instead, he continuously tries to convince himself that he did not do what his parents wanted him to do, while in fact doing it. Only after attaining the highest possible credential possible his parents were proud of him, getting what they wanted all along, while the entire illusionary moral of the story was built upon not doing what they expected him to do. He then proceeds to talk about his newfound solace in religion to fill a void.

I have no doubt Ken is a genuinely good person, but his story is just not interesting and relatable. This book felt like a confession he needed to get out for personal reasons, and not to tell a fascinating story.
