Twilight has already been brought up, it should not appear on a list with the word "best" in the title. Also, The Host at #15? THERE IS NOTHING ORIGINAL ABOUT THAT NOVEL! All you can take from it is that Stephanie Meyer has probably seen invasion of the body snatchers (or more likely animorphs). The Plague is a novel by Albert Camus, published in 1947. the LORD to anger by their wicked deeds, and a plague broke out among them. The only Harry Potter book that could make this list is possibly the last one,and if it did it shouldn't be ranked high. It lights up the far-distant past, where human research in vain seeks to. A lot of these fantasy stories really need to be removed for the same reason. The fact is, Narnia's setting isn't that important to the plot, it just happens to be the place the author chose to set the story. Now if you describe Narnia's setting, you'd probably talk about the talking animals, the magical forest, the mansion and all that shit. These things are completely inseparable from the story of 1984. If you tried to describe the setting of 1984, you'd probably talk about big brother, telescreens, the party or the thought police. The plot of 1984 is completely inseparable from the dystopia described in the book. 1984 belongs on this list, The Lion, The witch and the wardrobe does not. Let's just compare 2 novels on the first page. Some of these books do build interesting worlds, but are not Utopian/dystopian fiction. I think the definition of Utopia/Dystopia needs to be altered for this list.
