The anime renditions of them were kind of meh but they didn't follow the books accurately. The books were a lot more aware of the lore and the character's power levels at that point.

I think the books are canon while their anime counterparts are filler-ized version of what is otherwise canonical.

Sakura and Sasuke books are canon.

The Last (movie) and the other books are filler.

I don't think so, kishi didn't work on the story or confirmed it canon.

Nope they are not canon , but they are interesting and entertaining , at least they are better than the last arcs from shitpuden

Just because something is not canon that does not make it bad

The Last is garbage (more than Twilight) and the books nope, they are not canon.
