I hate this list. Not because I love every or many books on it, but because I think in general Goodreads is such a positive community, and frankly, this type of negativity doesn't really have a place here in my opinion. Sure, not every book will please every person, but shouldn't we all focus on the books we DO love rather than waste time categorizing anything we didn't? This isn't beneficial to anyone--authors, readers, publishers. This list gets a heavy and disapproving frown from me, and I'll certainly refrain from voting and hope others will too.
Sara I guess you are right. Some people love thrillers but I hate them so I just don't read them. Insead I read other book I do like.
I wasn't thinking about negetive thoughts. I was simply letting people state their opinion just like you do on review! While goodreads is a postieve site it's good to hear other negetive reviews.
Hush Hush is terrible? :O I love it. 
I like this list, the idea is I agree a bit negative but everyone has the own opinion and the right to share it. I get really attached to the plot and characters in a book, so when there is heart break or a not so happy ending I really can't handle it :/ (weird I know but what ev). When there is a new book I want to read, I first read the reviews. I see no difference form the blatantly honest reviews that are very harsh and this list...well not true this list is more convenient. If you notice all these book have more than 3.whatever stars. Seems like the majority of people like these books (myself included in some of these books). But yet they are still included in this list. So this list may not benefit authors and publishers but it also doesn't really harm them either.

Oh well, to each their own I guess;) The others.... I don't really know but Lord of the Flies I had to read for school which makes it bad. And then we even had to watch the movie *shudder* XD
