Title: The Last of the Mohicans
Review: This is a good book to read, though it tends to drag on at times. The story is well known, and attests to the authorship of James Fenimore Cooper. This will forever be a classic piece of American literature with characters people can identify with and appreciate. Cooper is a very good storyteller.Another "character" of the work is the landscape in which the story unfolds. Cooper's description of upstate New York does for literature what the Romantic painters of the Hudson River School did on canvas. Cooper writes of the crags and forests in such a way that the reader feels every drop of water or every sharp stone the books character's encounter.As said this book drags on at times but in general it has a good pace. Twenty-first century readers will struggle at times with the context and verbage, but this will remain an important book from the nineteenth century.
