Battlefield Earth is a terrible book written by a hack. Jurassic Park is a mediocre book written by another hack.

The rest of the list looks very much like dozens of other lists of top books, other than the Legacy of Heorot, which is the only one I haven't read and thus can't comment on. It looks rather like a counterpart of a list of the top 15 music albums ever as compiled by Rolling Stone - controversial and fresh, it is not.
