A List of Cages

A list of cages is about two boys who find a loving family with each other. Adam has ADHD but is loved by his friends and mom. Julian is a foster kids who lived with Adam when he was younger, but now lives with one of his extended family relative. They both cross paths again at school and orbit each other till one helps the other out and shows him that he deserves happiness.Adam's friends were all supportive and super nice. Charlie was such a good character too. This book showed three different types of boys, all complete and whole unto themselves.This book was amazing in a cathartic sense. It showed how people can be guilt tripped into thinking that abuse is part of family and it is what you deserve for being you.Beware: It has a lot of triggering stuff. Bullying, abuse, emotional trauma and claustrophobia. The abuse part hits you like a freight train and then you can't stop reading till you know how it ends, and whether it'll end well.P.S. The starry cover is super pretty.

A beautiful heart wrenching read.I don't usually pick up contemporary books unless it is recommended by the people I trust,this book was in my TBR pile for a long time,glad I gave it a go. This book comes with a whole set of heartfelt emotions.Very well written.Recommended to everybody. Trigger warning: Physical abuse.

Oh my god 15,000rs its just a book right? I wish its 99% off

Absolutely loved this book.This is a really poignant and incredible look at a number of different issues which i will not mention because it spoils the book.The main character is the ultimate best friend because he is so patient and kind in dealing with this character who is his foster brother whom he has not seen in a number of years.This really is a fantastic book deserving of all its praise and it a great look at how children deal with incredible situations and how friendships and families work and what constitutes these two concepts.ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!

I have nothing but praise for this book! Firstly the cover it absolutely beautiful, we all know the old saying 'don't judge a book by its cover' but the cover alone wad enough to make me want to buy this book.Moving on to the actual content of the book. This story showcases the life of a young boy, more specifically when he reacquainted with an old friend. This friendship between the two main characters had me hooked from the start, I have not read many books where it was more focused on friendship then actually falling in love. This book deals with the mature themes that should be talked about more widely in literature as it sheds light on issues that happen within our society. Although this book had an emotive impact on the read the author had also managed to include some funny parts too. It is for these reasons that I really loved this book, as it shows that even in the worse times you can still find some happiness.

This was a decent read, a lot of likeable and relatable characters. Definitely a very serious book and I’ll admit some of the scenes were a bit over the top, which makes me feel like it was just for shock value. Didn’t really enjoy it as much as I’d hoped though.

Incredible book. Moving and heart-wrenching from beginning to end. I was absolutely gripped throughout and the climax completely shocked me. A must read.

I enjoyed the novel more than I expected. Neither the title or the illustration on the book cover are appealing but the story is. It's told through the eyes of two teens, one younger than the other and quite the introvert. The other is overly verbal with his ADHD almost under control. It's a story about friendship, peer support and love. The younger boy is being abused physically by a sadistic uncle and at times it's too graphic for my tender heart. But overall quite interesting; you easily get drawn into the story and both characters are lovable. Definitely a good read for teens 15 and up.... with a warning because of the physical abuse.
