Seems like this list is biased and prejudiced against some authors, how does a book qualify as a bad book ? I have some good memories reading some of these books on the list. Yes I do not like the Twilight series, however I do not think they are bad books, because they are commercially successful does not make them bad, my wife thoroughly enjoyed the Twilight series.

I agree, commercial success does not mean a book is "bad". However, I think the Twilight books are "bad" as they are written badly, and the characters lack any depth at all.

Agreed. I'm not sure why these people always feel the need to clump Fantasy/Scifi/Horror together anyways. I've yet to see a poll like this for a mashup of Romance/Mystery/Westerns. ;)

I always love to see 50 Shits of Grey in "Worst [whatever]" lists, but seriously, isn't it supposed to be fantasy/sci fi/horror?
It doesn't even fit the genre, people add books without even reading what the list is about.

I don't have a problem with her votes and I certainly don't think the solution is to write off an entire genre just because you disliked some books. The "if you don't like this or that book then stop reading this genre" argument is bullshit and a very poor debating tool.
But, I guess that respecting other people's opinions is too much to ask in Good "Troll Land" Reads, no?
Now, probably Lazer's comment was tongue in cheek, I can't tell. But if this Roseanne character actually believes that this user should be banned, tarred and feathered then I suggest she visits a shrink ASAP. She's obviously disturbed.

To #10: I voted for The Lies of Locke Lamora because to me it read as very juvenile, all teen-boy-wish-fulfillment and no substance. Then the only female character of any importance got stuffed in the fridge and I was done. It's obviously a very popular book, but hey, there are books I love on this list too, and Goodreads would be a very boring place if everybody agreed.

You know, I think a lot of these books are those people haven't even read. It's probably a bunch of Twilight fans angry about Stephen King saying Twilight sucks and so they put his masterpieces on this list.

Harry Potter is very good, but the best of all time? Really? I think it's the best children's fantasy of all time, but not fantasy over all.

Avaminn, note I said "arguably". That doesn't mean it is, just that it is accepted by a decent chunk as the best.

It's a list, not truth. Truth is different for different people. Or else we'd be clones and therefore boring. Differences are beautiful... People that make these kinds of lists just like drama-making. And well, I don't feel like partaking, so I have yet to vote. Besides 139 people thinking a book sucks is like a speck of dust on my wine glass; just a flick of the wrist and they're *poof* gone. There's quadrillions of people who enjoy these books, and so what? Do they have bad tastes? NO. They just don't have the same tastes as ... what? 139 people? Right, Like I should care.... 139 people can not even make a dent on the fandom of trillions. Just saying.

this list should be called "famous fantasy and sci-fi novels that some people don't like." i've read lots of really bad books and none of them are on this list. instead, it has sci-fi classics like dune and the forever war, and incredibly popular fantasy series like harry potter and the wheel of time. i would love to know who came up with this list and what books they think are actually good.

Added starship troopers. Military science fiction needs to die already, it's not the forties anymore. (I could add any number of examples of military science fiction, space opera, YA books and paranormal romances; because almost nothing good comes out of those genres [there are exceptions] but I won't)

It's a shame most of these are just popular ones that people dislike. I mean, I dislike lots of them; but I was hoping for some really terrible stuff that hardly anyone has read, the sorts of books that languish on the shelves of thrift stores, the sorts of forgotten books that you have to laugh at how terrible they are. I hate Twilight as much as anyone, but I was hoping for something weirder.
