The Top Ten
1 J.K. Rowling Joanne Rowling, CH, OBE, FRSL, FRCPE, writing under the pen names J. K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith, is a British novelist, philanthropist, film and television producer and screenwriter best known for writing the Harry Potter fantasy series.

C'mon! Fine, I'll admit her books are quite good, But seriously! I honestly think Percy Jackson and Wings of Fire are waaay better

I love her books but seriously it's too famous Chris Bradford and J.R. R Tolkien are better

I voted for her because I don't like harry potter

2 James Patterson James Brendan Patterson is an American author and philanthropist. Among his works are the Alex Cross, Michael Bennett, Women's Murder Club, Maximum Ride, Daniel X, NYPD Red, Witch and Wizard, and Private series, as well as many stand-alone thrillers, non-fiction and romance novels.

He is so overrated I read some of his books they are terrible

5 Stephen King Stephen Edwin King is an American author of contemporary horror, supernatural fiction, suspense, science fiction, and fantasy. Many of his most well-known novels include Carrie, It, The Shinning, The Stand, Misery, The Dark Tower series, and Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, which was later adapted into the film The Shawshank Redemption which is widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time.

His books are good but he's very overrated.

6 Erin Hunter

Don't get me wrong, I loved the Warriors series, but not only is "Erin Hunter" about 8 different authors but now there's shade on the series for people being "furries".

The warriors book were really well written. But the plot is so weird... I feel so nutty when I talk about it...

9 Stephenie Meyer
