Entertaining, sure, but hardly one of the greatest stories ever written.

Not to sound like too much of a prick, but the story of Warcraft really just can't stand up to highest literary standards.

For example, how can you compare the writing of Warcraf to John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, or Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness? They're just in completely different leagues altogether.

Some writers create worlds to escape our own, others create worlds to explore our own. The latter, I think, it one of the markers of great fiction.
