Cathy's Book: What I've been looking forward to all semester
So I think I should start this blog off by saying that I absolutely LOVED Cathy's Book. I had never read anything like it, and I thought the whole experience was great. Like we touched upon in glass, the attention to detail is noteworthy, and it really adds to the authenticity of the story. All of the phone numbers and the Web sites enhanced my experienced and really immersed me in Cathy's quest to get to the bottom of this mystery. By examining all of the "evidence" included in her book, I was able to follow along with story and even figure things out on my own before Cathy had any idea. I literally finished the whole thing in one sitting, which I think says a lot for its immersive quality. It really sucks you in and makes the world seem as real as possible. Since I was so actively involved in the discovery process, I become really determined to find out ALL there is to know. Unfortunately, I haven't figured everything out yet, which is killing me because one of the articles we had to read mentioned that the biggest secret of Cathy's Book isn't even contained within it's pages. Hopefully some people in class tomorrow will have some more insight as to what I've missed. I don't know if this is just my inner teeny bopper talking, but I definitely want to get the sequel when it comes out!

The Sequel
Well, I'll also be getting the sequel, and I don't have an inner teeny bopper, so you shouldn't worry :)
As far as any big secrets outside of the book's pages ... I dunno. There's a lot of information out there on the 8 Immortals, so I guess you could make some inferences. The big question, it seems, is what's so important about Cathy -- so maybe that's what we'll find out about in Cathy's Key.
