It's so telling when almost every book in a series is high up here, like the House of Night series. I enjoyed the first 4 or 5 then got so bored (and I grew up a bit) that I couldn't be bothered to carry on with what seemed like a never ending series.

Cause most people only read the books after the movie. Which changes their view on the book when it should've been the other way around.

Surely the whole point of this list is that you're voting on books that are really popular but you personally don't get? So all the books are going to be really popular - which means some of your favourites are bound to be there (I LOVE Pride & Prejudice). As well as the ones you think are totally overrated. Because everyone is different.

I totally don't get Tolkien or Terry Pratchett - couldn't even finish "The Colour of Magic". My brother reads almost nothing else. That's the point - isn't it?

Absolutely. For me it was The Catcher in the Rye and Fifty Shades of Grey (and it seems I'm not the only one, as currently these books are in the top three). People were (are) absolutely raving about both books, and I didn't like either. It's just like my earlier comment :-)

I read the books first and haven't bothered with the movie. I liked the world so I kept reading hoping for more world-building; instead I got romance, world-breaking, and more romance. Not a fan.

I don't get Tolkien either! And if you want to try Terry Pratchett again I recommend starting with one of his later ones like "Going Postal" or "The Truth". I don't think I would have been able to finish "The Colour of Magic" either if I hadn't already liked the world.

Whoever wrote this probably doesn't like reading that much, or hasn't analysed/thought about them. These books, even if they aren't exciting or fun to read, have important messages and themes. It's why people love them.
