Review: Poetic and Poignant
Rating: 5 out of 5

I think I must have started to read Cage Life on about six different occasions -- I would get to a certain point in the first story, Still Life, and very moved emotionally, I'd put it down, meaning to go back to it. I'm so glad I finally started yet again and read through the entirety. The first story is a beautifully written look at a life, such as it is, shared with others, where there is love and sometimes, as in all life, bad things can happen that either break people apart or bring them together. A moving read, poetically told. Usurper, the second story of the two, told from the point of view of a mind incapable of seeing beyond his own narrow field of vision -- but more than that I cannot say without a spoiler. Highly recommended read.
