Adam Farmer, the main protagonist, is on a journey to find his father in a far away town called Rutterburg, Vermont with a secret package for him. Since the events in the book aren’t in chronological order he’s simultaneously in an institution and these portions of the book are written as if they were recorded audio tapes.

My only problem was the existential emotion I got from reading and may has nothing to do with the story and something more personal level. Although I wouldn’t call it a blemish and was probably the author’s intention. An aura of deep sadness radiated from within me as I read, mildly concerning. I am the Cheese is the only book I had read from Robert Cormier. The book was enjoyable to read with the story filled with conflict and question. I enjoyed the book indisputably. The downbeat nature of his work kept me on
