Josh Prager

I was interested to hear from Josh Prager’s novel about the famous home-run and the cheating done by the Giant’s team. I am not much of a baseball fan so I did not know anything about the incident. One of the most fascinating things that Josh talked about was how he found and actually got to see all of the materials used I in the cheating process. Josh was able to actually see the telescope they used and meet some of the people that were working. I also enjoyed what Josh had to say about Bobby Thompson and the cheating he was involved in. Although Bobby was wrong for cheating, he was also kind of forced into it since his manager wanted him to. Bobby was only trying to serve his team and do what was best for them even though it was not the best decision. When the question about who all three of the writer’s geared their novels to came up, I was a little surprised at their answers. All three said that they did not really think about their audience or who they were writing this book for. I had always thought that most writer’s would think about this before hand. But when they talked about it, it made more sense. I think now that a writer should focus more on novel and make it incredible because then the readers will come. The readers will always find the novel, especially if it is something they enjoy learning about.
