I abstain from voting--there is no button for "Tie". They are both excellent novels, in my top 5.

Oh...

Obviously my vote goes to It, no question. But this is the only poll I wasn't looking forward to. I really want Duma Key to do good as well.

I too wish their was a tie/neither option. I think while it would take away from the actual numbers for specific books it would more accurately reflect the overall opinion.

You have to choose one, if you've read both. Or don't vote, it's not mandatory. But preferred. So please do :)

Psst. Vote for Duma Key just to make things interesting...

I realize that. I just don't agree.

Brice: technically, a tie vote is the same as zero vote, as far as the final result is concerned. I will remember that you said this, though, because we'll be improving the system anyway, and consider all suggestions. I too would love to see which books tie, and for whom

Pablo, do you dislike It? Or just think it's mediocre?

I didn't dislike it, but I wasn't impressed with it. It had some absolutely great parts, of course, as any King work does, but overall it was not as engrossing as others here in Round 3. I realize mine is an unpopular opinion, but whaddaya gonna do.

I might have liked It a bit more than you but I certainly agree with your overall assessment.

Voted for Duma Key just to annoy all the It lovers out there. The vote really is a tie for me.
