I also decided to pick up Robert Cormier's I Am the Cheese becuase I've seen it on censorship lists along with his The Chocolate War. Now, having read the latter book, I can understand why it ends up on the lists. However, I can't really get a handle on why this book would be on the lists. There is not foul language and no tricky subject matter except (and this is a huge stretch) the main character ends up being completely insane at the end. Who knows maybe The Dairy Farmers of America were upset that the title of the book is misleading. =)
