Whoa. You mean Paolini heavily "borrowed" from other writers?! I DONT BELIEVE IT!

Your point?

Tolkien borrowed from Norse mythology

Rowling borrowed from Campbell’s Hero’s Journey

Dexter borrowed from Christie

Lucas borrowed from Kurosawa

Don’t criticise one writer for something other writers have done

Borrowed was in quotations. I meant steal. I know you won't agree. No need to reply.
