Most Overrated Book

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
