    Not to lead the genuine voting astray, I suggest you guys making a separate kind of Ignobel Prize voting, where you could nominate Greta Shaw as antagonist, Patrick and Henry (or, as Detta Walker suspected, Roland and Eddie) as best couple, or buick 8 as protagonist.

    Is an occasional joke really leading the voting astray, Jean?

    No, an occasional one doesn't.

    They are my nominees this time, as they were the last time... Think of that moment when Ben was writing that haiku to her... and then of how he was true to her all his life... and, after all, grownup Beverly is grownup Beverly; what's not to like about her?

    dont get me wrong, i loved Ben. But with Beverley - and this is purely personal thoughts -
    Spoiler:
    i just felt that if Bill had been available at the end of the book she would have prefered to go with him. And to me thats not a basis of a good relationship, i worried for ben thtf after his life long love for Bev she was only with him because she could not be with Bill. i would have prefered for her to come back as a grown up and want ben from the start, but she didn't and thats why i didnt like her.

    I do not see Beverly as reprehensible. I think it is just that she had problems of her own. Recall her troubled history. I do believe that she and Ben equal a strong candidate here. (Although I stand by my nomination.) Relationships with no obstacles don't make for very interesting reading.

    candy! I had those same thoughts. It upset me, too, because I love kid Bev.

    I'm depressed that Larry and Lucy didn't even get seconded. They might not be awesome or dramatic or fabulous, but they are a strong couple. I liked Lucy and wanted to see more of her.
