Q&A with John Hansen discussion

Hey John,

I really enjoyed The Perfect Game. When I was in college, I saw a stage play that had an ending very similar to your book. This was a long time ago, so I can't remember what it was called . . .What was your inspiration for the ending?

I would love to read some of your comments on how you plan on making this story believable to the American public . . . (i.e. What has occured that allows such a thing take place? Do people think it's fake at first and then rumors spread of its true nature?)

I think the concept is very intersting and look forward to seeing the character developement you come up with to make the story move forward.

Great answers! I'm really looking forward to reading the next one!

I think the ending was unexpected . . . I say that because you lead us to believe that when the family was fixing to get killed in the show, I kept thinking that the killer was in Jeff's house. I thought it would be great for the guy who loved the show to become the victim while he was thinking about the poor saps who were watching themselves get murdered. I thought that was going to happen and when it didn't, it put me off track as to what would happen at the end. Very good bait and switch!

The ending was not what I was expecting,but that's what makes it so good!! Because your thinking"NO WAY" Wow,what total flip on the story.Loved it!!
Thinking the next should be called....Let The Games Begin,and the third one..... The Games continue...

Awesome story!!

I agree that I was completely shocked at your ending. But I have to admit that a part of me was cheering Jeff's wife on.

What role do you see her playing in the future books, if any?

Also, I am already anxious for the next installment in the series!!
