I read quite a long time ago the first part of The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan and got really irritated with it. I don't remember all the similarities but the monsters (I don't remember what they're called) are just like orcs and the place where the main character is from is too similar to the Shire, eg. the emphasized mention that doors are not usually locked and so on, and then there were kind of nazgul (somekind of undead black riders).
(I know that in the downs there are lots of WoT fans so I didn't mean to insult anybody or anybody's favourite book; this is just my opinion...)
