But seriously, would you allow say Ethan Frome to be nominated for science fiction because others feel it's science fiction? Sometimes a stand has to be made in the case of a book that's incorrect for the given month's category.

And I do think a warning about a book like Ethan Frome should have been given based on the fact that it's the holidays and it's s severely depressing book. Even reviews that liked it said it's depressing. The description we got says nothing about the true nature of the book and I think that should have been brought to people's attention. Instead what got brought to the forefront was how short it is and that is why (IMHO) I think it got the votes it did.
