P.S., I'm also curious about the name, was it just random that you went from Paul Benjamin to Paul Kersey and then after to Nick Hume? Thank you... for creating a whole new genre for the century. Gene, from California

Dear Mr. Garfield As a fan to Death Wish (both movies and the book) and Death Sentence (both movie and book). I was wondering what was the whole story about the sequels to Death Wish being made, like were there any considerations at all for Death Sentence to being made after it was published in 1975? Of which movie out of the two novels were you more clearly satisfied with the most, Death Wish or Death Sentence? How come Death Sentence didn't really stick on to follow the novel's storyline? And with the remake of Death Wish going into production, would you probably would want or consider optioning Death Sentence again (even though it would be less than a couple of years since it was already made), to be remade from the novel directly as the sequel to do justice for both stories and the main character? I mean the theme of rise and fall fits to the categories of how both novels do work.

Do you have a "personal stake" in the Paul Benjamin character? In other words, do you closely identify with his actions or do you find him morally repugnant? I apologize if you have already discussed this online elsewhere..thank you, in advance!

I like it very much!
