    I abstain from voting--there is no button for "Tie". They are both excellent novels, in my top 5.
    People are always talking about truth.Everybody knows what the truth is,like it was toilet paper or somethin...All there is is bull*...One layer of bullshit on top of another...what you do in life...pick the layer of bull* that you prefer...

    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...

    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

    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.
