Notes from Underground is perfectly rated. It's acknowledged not to be Dostoevsky's best work, but still pretty good. It's perfect to into Dostoevsky, just in terms of getting a sense of his style.

Grapes of Wrath isn't overrated, it's a flawless novel and perfectly balanced.
Just that the murricans read a nover in high school doesn't mean that the novel is bad or overrated.

i'm not american and i think he's one of the best american writers.

I don't understand why notes from underground is there. I think it's horribly underrated if anything.

Les Misérables
Actually liked it, but Hugo's constant ramblings about the Revolution, the Monarchy and the Church mortally wounded the pace for me.

It's a glorified dime novel.
