Good examples of popular not equaling great. Handmaid's Tale is filled with feminist idealogy that ruins it for me (I just want slave women to fuck at will dammit) while the other suffers from a similar pro-femme Mary Sue angle.
I did enjoy the first few Anne Rice vampire novels but by book 4 or so the stories degenerated into glorified WB episodes starring lovelorn teenage vampires. Yuck.
