Title: James Fennimore Cooper is spinning in his grave
Product review: The author of these books has some talent for spinning a good if derivative historic romance plot line. And if she took liberties with Cooper's original characters, so did the movie versions most readers are probably more familar with, anyway. 'Tis a pity an unremitting political correctness distracts from the story.Any time a character who is a person of color is introduced to the story line, the reader can predict with close to 100% certainty they will be preternaturally wise, possess an altruistic streak to make Mother Teresa a piker by comparison or have motives as pure as Ivory soap.By the time I was halfway through the book, I found all the noble Native Americans and selfless blacks insufferably boring. How I longed for a villain like Magua to add some zest to a half baked pastiche.
