It is currently a plot summary edit

Plot summaries are a violation of WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE section seven, which states that it must offer real-world context and sourced analysis, detail on a work's achievements, impact or historical significance. Furthermore, such details must be the majority of the article - not just an afterthought.

If this situation remains as it is, I will be forced to nominate the article for deletion.

It's had a year to add what the article is supposed to be about, after all. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MPoint (talkcontribs) 06:35, 21 February 2007 (UTC).Reply

The article stated that Hopewell is fictional...sorry the town small as it is does exist.

Hopewell is very similar to Sterling, Illinois edit

Hopewell, the "fictional" town of the book, bears many striking similarities to the real town of Sterling, Illinois, which is Terry Brooks' home town. Like the fictional Hopewell, Sterling has a Sinnissippi Park, with a graveyard right next to it, low-income housing named Sinnissippi Townhomes right near the park, a principal street named Lincolnway (that divides into third and fourth street, like in the book), a (now mostly closed) steel mill on the Rock River, old mansions near the steel mill, and poorer homes in the west end of town.
