Cathy's Book(s)

I had actually read both books last week and found that I could not put either of them down. I absolutely loved both of these books and found the stories very engaging and easy to relate to (minus the whole immortal thing haha). I won't ruin the ending of Cathy's Key for those that haven't finished it yet, but it definetly made me rethink the whole thing about it being an ARG. I loved the evidence that each book gave and found that even though I could't really interact that much with the phone numbers, they were still pretty neat. I had never experienced novels that were quite this interactive. After reading both books, I began to think about ARGs and how we define them, I thought back to the ARG Professor Whalen talked about at the beginning of the semester and compared that one to Cathy. I think what we each get from these books are our own opinions but I think that Cathy as a ARG is highly plausible. Regardless of its existence as an ARG or not, I found both books engaging and I couldn't stop reading them.
