When the book was published for the first time, it was challenged for its sexually explicit situations.
The book was introduced by two teachers at Depew High School near Buffalo, New York, for eleventh grade instruction. The teachers had sent letters to the parents telling them that there was controversial content in the book.
Several people challenged the book on the grounds that it is pornographic and disgusting. One of the parents even refused to read the book himself. He said that one does not need to have cancer to diagnose cancer.
