I was ready to be indignant and scornful if he didn't pick Code Name Verity, but he had some specific concerns he pointed to. For me, saying it was nitpicking didn't laugh it off, but did acknowledge that these concerns didn't keep it from being a great book -- they just kept it from winning the Big Kahuna.

Boyce (one of my favorite MG authors, btw) DID make me understand how and why he made it, and that's what makes bracketology fun. i was very impressed by a bunch of the kid commentators' posts -- such smarties. aw, i liked Frank Cottrell Boyce’s judging! even tho I did not agree even a tiny bit with his choice.
