Personally I think they are all mediocre at best. When I read them I can almost feel the anxiety of the authors as I read their words on the page. Again nothing mind blowing/heart stopping/intriguing or that we haven’t seen before. There is nothing here that makes me salivate like one of Pavlov’s dogs. No vote I obstain. I would have to agree with Joel Flank that this years finalist are not as strong as previous years contestants.
