What "good" book do you think doesn't deserve the title?

OR

What book is ranted and raved about so much that it could never live up to its reputation?

(I'm voting for The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky and Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.)

Harry Potter books aren't that good IMO. At least, not as good as people say they are.

I have yet to read that book, it's on my reading list, why do you think the book is overrated?

Honestly, it was really good, but it gets ranted and raved about so much that I am, quite frankly, sick of hearing about it. I also felt like the end was a cop out, but it's still definitely worth a read if you haven't yet.

Harry Potter... Da Vinci Code.... Anything by Jane Austen (except perhaps Northanger Abbey...) most Booker Prize winners....

No Contest the Da Vinci Code is by far the most overrated book in the last 3 years.

I second that. I liked Angels and Demons better... which was also overrated, prior to the Da Vinci Code.

Da Vinci Code.

With the Harry Potter books when I read them only one chapter could ever really hold my interest with dosing off and having to re-read pages.

Uh... I don't think any book is Honestly

Most of the "classics" as them Call them. I tend to find them extremely boring. Like, Where the Red Furn Grows, Black Beauty, Oliver Twist, etc.

"Eragon" by Christopher Paolini isn't as great as alot of people told me. I found it too cliched.

Most overrated book?

Probably the da vinci code...and it's a rubbish story too.

And the film...gonna be crap.

yeah, one of the old books that is overrated is

How to kill a mockingbird

Jane Eyre.....just....no...

no fck'n way! The Da Vinci Code totally deserves its ratings!! Though I like Angels & Demons better... but still DVC is teh shit!
The most overrated book is by FAR the whole LotR series... they're so unbelievably boring

The Bible

Lotr series. 2 reasons. Too long. Too boring.

thE HOBBIT IS MUCH MUCH BETTER.

I say Lord of the flies.

Wow we are talking about the big books ever people.

Well my big joke was going to be stating, "The bible", but that has already been done.

So .....the most overrated book would be, .. .... ... ..Descartes' Meditations. He totally gets it all wrong, but this doesn't stop people from fantasizing of eating his dingleberries. He is so overrated.
