I agree. It really, really gets on my nerves when people go on about how he was "only 16" when he wrote it...IT'S A PIECE OF !£@$"!#@!, WHO CARES IF HE WAS 16!

One thing though, most fantasy stories do tend to follow the same general plot: Random kid from unknown background in a little nowhere finds that he actually has a great and wonderful heritage, meets guy who tells him stuff, goes on to save the world and win the girl. :/
