Opinions On The Hugo Nominees

Niall has some links to opinions on the Hugo nominees. The most amusing of which is by Adam Roberts. Go and read the full post but is summary is:

Here's what I'd like. If it isn't going to inconvenience you, I'd be enormously grateful, when it comes to next year's shortlists, if you could remember to come up with shortlists of excellent, brilliant and genius things; not shortlists of mediocre things.
