Three things to note:

  o Amy Chua did not come up with the Title of the WSJ article.

  o The WSJ went out of their way to string the most controversial elements.  
    Think of it as LinkBaiting..  They certainly got a lot of attention.  

  o The actual book is much more nuanced, and, to some degree, 
   comes to different conclusions than the article about the true 
   nature of parenthood.

I've spent quite a bit of time reading the reviews, and snips from the book, and have come to the conclusion that the WSJ editors, indeed, did a great job of writing a satirical review of that style of parenting. The high level of conversation certainly demonstrates that they accomplished their mission.
