What is the most popular Ursula K. Le Guin novel?

The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin is a master of writing; her chosen genre is science fiction, but more with the focus of exploring man's relationship to each other than to explore future possibilities. Nevertheless, Le Guin can create new worlds and new cultures that are unsurpassed by any other science fiction author.

Partially its overrated. It's a seven book series, morphing into 8 full length movies. Some aspects of it are overrpraised, some of it is underrated. I understand your frustration about the film lovers not reading the books, but consider JK Rowling's writing style is not for everyone. My dad loves the movies, but finds her writing style alienating. The books are quite long in length and it is hard to find time to read a book, and fantasy fiction is really alienating sometimes. Overpraised things in Harry Potter include Chris Columbus' direction, the main three characters, etc and underrated is the 3rd movie and the performances of the older actors, such as Ralph Fiennes. The main problem with Harry Potter is the 'trying to get Voldemort plot' is stretched over three books and four films and runs thin, meaning the films and novels struggle to find their own substance in parts, and can be occasionally dull. That was the problem with the first Deathly Hallows movie was that for such a long running time, nearly nothing was happening. Book series such as LOTR did it right in making a journey over 9 hours in length, but that is because everything was thought it in a through fashion. Harry Potter is inconsistent in parts, so it is patchy, but despite that it's still a good series in the film and book sense. About your peers, know that its okay to like the books and dislike the films and like the films and dislike the novels. If peers are being cruel, hopefully you've got a good teaching department. Other than that, just enjoy what you enjoy and don't let it get to you.
