maribouMost overrated: _The Stranger_ by Camus. I've read it in French, I've read it in 2 English translations, and I still feel pretty 'enh' about it. I get the feeling I'm not meant to be rolling my eyes at the narrator quite so much.
Most underrated: this is the really hard one, but today I'm feeling like it's anything by Peter Watts, Steven Gould, or Laura Mixon. Of the science fiction writers I wasn't already reading ten years ago, they are far and away my favorites, and while reviews have been generally positive, not enough people have even HEARD of them. Let alone read them. Go read them. Promulgate them. Make it so they can afford to write more books. I'll appreciate it.
