 * I Am the Cheese** by Robert Cormier
 * Hunter Selby-Period 10**

I think the story of “I Am the Cheese” was very well planned, but it was very confusing. The layout of the book only added to the confusion. Every other chapter would be an interview with someone who has never revealed his identity, but I believe him to either be a Federal Agent or a psychiatrist. Adam keeps having panic and anxiety attacks when he is with this unknown interrogator. But once Adam finally reaches Vermont, he is captured by someone and ends up in this interrogation room. The story keeps going back and forth between these two stories and it can get very confusing. I still don’t completely understand the ending, but the whole story of a family put into Witness Protection and having new identities reminds me of today’s modern crime shows, like //NCIS// or //Law & Order//, or //Numb3rs//. It was an interesting plot but it seems as if it wasn’t resolved. And then the last paragraph of the book is an exact copy of the first paragraph on the first page, like the government or unknown agency, or maybe even Witness Protection, has completely erased his memory and he is back at the beginning
