Of course, 'the best' anything is always highly subjective and a matter of personal taste. Perhaps you think a different book deserves the title more? Sadly, the masses would disagree; however, are such 'best' competitions simply popularity contests? Where authors who are well-known get in without actual writing merit?

You can see the full list of winning books here.
