Summary: Don't fence me in
Review: This book made an immediate impact on me. I was at once reminded of another book on child abuse (The Bark of the Dogwood) in which a psychotic mother takes away all of the main character's stuffed animals-each with it's own personality and such. But "They Cage" was even more gripping. This book is about a young boy named Jennings. Jennings has to be courageous and persevere through hard times. He has to try to keep his family together as problem after problem occurs. He receives help from many different people during his travels in New York City. He learns how to help his family and gathers information about life to help him understand his situation. I liked this book because it was a real story, but still action packed. In some parts of the story it was hard to put the book down because it enthralled its readers. I would recommend this book to people who like drama and action filled books.

Summary: Excellent book
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. It is horrifying how that little boy was treated but he triumphed through it all. This book will definately make you cry, but the true life story will keep you turning pages until the very end in one sitting.

Summary: A must for all who want to adopt
Review: This book is essential reading for all people thinking to adopt a child, whatever child. The situation of orphans or foster children might have improved over the last decades, but if you think about adopting internationnally who knows what your child went through. Here you get a glimpse of what it is like to live in a home, to be put away without knowing why, the shock, the sadness and especially the fear. But it also talks about the essentials : love, friendship, loss, hope and survival. It makes you understand that the child you adopt can't trust you straight away (you are just another adult), but it also shows you how desperate is the search for love and just a normal life !
