Review: A List Of Cages by Robin Roe

Summary:

When Adam Blake lands the best elective ever in his senior year, serving as an aide to the school psychologist, he thinks he's got it made. Sure, it means a lot of sitting around, which isn't easy for a guy with ADHD, but he can't complain, since he gets to spend the period texting all his friends. Then the doctor asks him to track down the troubled freshman who keeps dodging her, and Adam discovers that the boy is Julian--the foster brother he hasn't seen in five years.

Adam is ecstatic to be reunited. At first, Julian seems like the boy he once knew. He's still kind hearted. He still writes stories and loves picture books meant for little kids. But as they spend more time together, Adam realizes that Julian is keeping secrets, like where he hides during the middle of the day, and what's really going on inside his house. Adam is determined to help him, but his involvement could cost both boys their lives.

My Review:

I've never so much in love and sad at the same time like this, when i read this book. It's totally amazingg and i extremely loveeeee this one!

Ceritanya bener-bener menyedihkan, menyayat hati, dan mengagumkan. Bahkan orang yang bukan keluarga bisa treat people like that just as he's one of their family member. On the opposite, the only family he had treat him harshly.

Selama aku baca ini, ada bagian yg bikin aku bener-bener ngeluarin air mata alias nangis, dan ada bagian jg yang bikin seneng, dan gregetan at the same time. Aku gemes banget sama Julian yang kenapa masih diem aja dan bisa terima di perlakukan seperti itu. Aku gemes juga saat point of view nya lagi pindah ke Adam dan ngga lagi ngebahas Julian, and i was like 'i want to know about Julian please not about your love life or what' but i really really love this character. He's so brotherly, and lovely, and omg he's the brother everyone wishing for. Karakter Adam bener-bener karakter yang orang banyak bakal suka. Dia sangat peduli dan ramah dengan orang2 disekitarnya.

Begitu juga dengan teman-teman Adam. Di buku ini Adam digambarkan memiliki banyak teman, dan mereka semua bisa menerima Julian yang hampir selalu Adam ajak di setiap mereka bermain.

Pokonya i love this book si much. Menurut aku author nya pinter banget bikin kita jadi mengikuti suasana yang ada. Dari segi bahasa pun enak banget, mudah dipahami. Walaupun pas di bagian awal aku rada bingung karena penyebutan karakter terlalu banyak tapi lama-kelamaan terbiasa juga kok karena ga semuanya sering disebut.

Rate: 4,8 / 5
