    Ramblings of a mind
  

*by M***C on Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2007*

I've bought this graphic novel 3 years ago.I've just read it in past 4 days.Why?I don't know.Maybe I was afraid of it, maybe I wasn't ready for it yet.I didn't know what to expect from that pages, that cages...When I finished it today I was just... it's hard to explain the combination of feelings in my head and soul.As a painter, graphic novel artist and comic strip teacher, I use to search for a new worlds, to find some new stories to tell to my friends and people that surrounds me.And I'm aware of numerous traps that lurking behind every corner of creation.I use to tell my students: Be creative, free your mind and fly through the limitless fields of mind, through the many rooms and hidden windows.And than again, I find myself captured in some sort of cage.But the love always sets me free.Dave McKean is one of my few favorite artists.A genius that combines techniques, always searching for some new expression.In this complex and moving book, you can find him using sometimes scratchy ink outlines an rapid brush movenents, everything black and white, (with some blue and greenish tone).Also a few in colour painted panels, an photomontages.The storyline is good, sometimes monotone but filled with phylosophy about God, art, creation, love, meanings of existence...I think that I'm going to read it few more times... There's something left, hidden between those dark walls, and spattered lines.But all I can do is recommend this amazing 500 pgs long book to you,and you will be next to enter that other- but so close to us - world.

    Dave McKean is inspiring.
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2011*

Cages is a beautiful, sophisticated novel for experienced comic readers. McKean's drawing style is honest and experimental, sometimes very realistic, sometimes expressionistic, and sometimes breaking down into abstraction as visual poetry. His storytelling also jumps between traditional narratives, character monologues, and surrealism.  Cages isn't always easy to read. There is a whole chapter about music theory which is beyond me. McKean also likes to introduce images and themes which you might expect to mean something in the greater story, but he feels no need to explain them or give them closure. I find this refreshing, but I could see how some readers might find this frustrating. He's trying to invent new ways to tell a story, sometimes with great success, and sometimes with confusion, but always in a way that is thoughtful.  If you want to read a challenging story that reads like a love letter to art (visual, literature, poetry, and music) and the creative process, and you don't mind a surrealist mystery thrown in (like a David Lynch movie), this may be the book for you.
