In some ways, “A List of Cages” is like a good episode of “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” but with lousy police work and minus the courtroom drama. "A List of Cages" is a book with a big heart thanks to its very likable characters. His reticence and meekness got me flipping through the pages fast because I seriously want to know what’s going on through his precious head. He is curiously timid with a touch of a rebel side because he does not talk back to his frustrated teachers but he continues to skip classes and avoid schoolwork so he could be alone to read his favorite adventure book series. For example, he does not fight back to a bullying classmate because he thinks that there is no such thing as a mean child, only an unhappy one. Julian is also kind and nice, even to a fault. He is this ever so happy, hoppity-hop kid who is the bringer of smiles and sweet warm sunbeams to any room he walks into. He is always friendly even with the teachers. He is like the class clown who also knows how to take in charge of a group. Adam is popular in school, but not in a handsome jerky jock kind of way.
The book’s strength is it’s very likable characters and the bond between them.
