Jun 28, 2017TEENREVIEWCREW rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
A List of Cages was a truly heartbreaking story which brought me to tears. The characters were ones that I sincerely cared for, and I loved the friendships and support systems found within the book. Because of its sensitive subject matter, I would recommend potential readers to look into the themes of the book. Thankfully, I felt as though these themes were dealt with realistically and respectfully, especially the depiction of disabilities in the novel. 4/5 - @pastapages of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library A List of Cages was one of my most anticipated book releases for this year and it did not disappoint. It is a very emotional book that deals with very important problems. Something that I really enjoyed about this book was that the main focus was on a friendship that was rekindled between two former foster brothers, unlike so many books where the main focus is on love interests. The main characters Adam and Julian are both such wonderful characters and the character development that happens in this book is amazing. To be able to read about Julian’s transitions and progress was eye opening, it really emphasizes that you never know what someone's life is like. Adam from the beginning is nothing but nice to Julian which was really nice to see, he welcomes Julian with open arms which turns out to be what he needs. Adam and Julian’s friendship is one of the best friendships that I have read about in a long time. I would highly recommend this book, however there are some triggers(abuse) to take into consideration before reading it. 5 stars - @bookworm of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
