I question the Twilight and Hunger Games series, but I'm sure they're trying to appeal to younger readers.
While I've read 50 Shades, I can't believe both it & Twilight made the list!
I question the validity of the list, myself. It was internet-survey based. So...
According to the about page-"It investigates how and why writers create their fictional worlds, how we as readers are affected by these stories, and what these 100 different books have to say about our diverse nation and our shared human experience."
When you think about it in that context how could you not include Twilight and Hunger Games both of which spawned so many YA novels with Hunger Games bringing in the dystopian genre to the forefront that were published and movie adaptations and people couldn't get enough of it (and younger readers are def. not all what encompasses both book series)?
How could you not include 50 Shades which spawned an entire genre of books that was not really there before?
It's clear as day to see why Harry Potter made it too.
I haven't gone through each and every books but I can def. understand why some were chosen despite people not liking the what the book was about or didn't think the book was well written.
