Editorial Review: Product Description: The publishing phenomenon Cathy’s Book redefined the way teens approach novels and set a new standard for interactivity, using the most popular kids’ technology to enhance the experience of reading a really good story. As a new chapter is about to unfold with the publication of the sequel, Cathy’s Key later this spring, the original novel is available in trade paperback. All of the supplementary items from the “evidence pack” are reproduced on pages in the back of the book, making this edition more accessible and portable. All of the original websites, phone numbers, and secret codes are still operational. Part romance, part thriller, part mystery, Cathy’s Book stands on its own beyond the interactive angle and the intense marketing campaign that made it a bestseller. Readers identify with Cathy, they read her story, listen to her phone messages, check out the websites she mentions, and they leave her messages on her MySpace.com page and on a special voicemail. Fans have even created their own videos on YouTube, demonstrating their comfort and familiarity with this level of interactivity and technology. Reviewers and awards committees have also recognized the unique phenomenon that reset the bar for engaging teen novels. Don’t miss this opportunity to get caught up in Cathy’s world all over again! Included in the paperback edition only is a special, teaser chapter from the sequel (which pubs two months later), to whet the appetite of the thousands of readers who have gotten caught up in the web of Cathy’s story! A YALSA Quick Pick Average Rating:
 Rating: - An Interesting ConceptThe way the book was written is really the best thing about it. The story and the characters are interesting (although the fantasy twist did throw me off a little), but the doodles and interactive opportunities were what got me reading in the first place. Rating:  - Well...I like this book. I like the story line, albeit the twist was... twisty and not what I signed up for. I was told the book was like Veronica Mars... it was more like Buffy meets Veronica. I wasn't in the mood for a fantasy book, but that's what I got. I had two disappointments with this, to me it was advertised as being interactive... not really. If I couldn't have made those calls, life would have gone on. Making the phone calls and visiting the websites wasn't necessary to understanding ... Read More Rating:  - Amazing!This book was.... Wow. I've read a lot of books since I read this one, but this is still my favorite. The ending is definitely impossible to predict. Also, calling the phone numbers and such was pretty interesting. It made the story feel more believable.
