Title: I may be from Ohio, but I'm no hick!
Product review: I have to agree with the person who said this book contains horrible stereotypes of Ohioans. I live in Columbus, which is one of the 20 largest cities in the United States. Other large cities in Ohio include Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Dayton. There are very few farms here, and I've never seen one remotely similiar to the one described in this book. Ohio is actually best known for the Ohio State Buckeyes (the 2003 NCAA Football Champions), and its ever-increasing crime rate. You would think that after an extremely inaccurate portrayal of Londoners in "Lightning Strikes", the ghostwriter would be a little more careful with this type of stuff.I've also noticed this trend in the other Shooting Stars books. Ice is from Philadelphia, so she's a poor ghetto black girl. Rose is from Georgia, so she's a somewhat inarticulate beauty queen. Cinnamon is from upstate New York, so let's make her some sheltered social outcast. Let's grow up a little, Mr. Ghostwriter, okay?
