THE DEAD ZONE, Stephen King. Banned in Peru, IN School System (1992)
along with CUJO and CHRISTINE because the books are "filthy." (this is found from the first site listed)


84 (this one is found from the 2nd site listed)
TITLE: The Dead Zone
AUTHOR: Stephen King
ISBN: 0451155750
Plot Summary: A reluctant clairvoyant is driven to become an assassin.
Complaints: Violence, offensive language
Banned in Peru, IN School System (1992) along with 'Cujo' and 'Christine' because the books are "filthy."
Solonor Says Ban It Because: OK, so Mr. King (whom I barely survived living in the same town in Maine with) admits his books are the "Big Mac and fries" of novels, right? So, if we allow kids to read them, they'll sue the schools, just like McDonald's, see? Then, where would we be? Simple logic. Stop lawsuits. Ban the books.
