Title: See the movie...don't bother reading it.
Review: When I was a senior I decided to use this book for my AP English class report becuase I had loved the movie..."and books are always better then the movies made after them...it must be wonderful!" I thought. Ha ha. When I chose the book the teacher read a quote by Mark Twain criticising it ALOUD in class. I thought it was sort of rude at the time...then I started reading it and realized he had been trying to warn me. The book is AWFUL! Cooper can't keep his characterization straight. One line one character says something and the next, if it hadn't said "so and so said" I would have thought it was someone else talking, and these aren't supposed to be colonialists with muctiple personality disorder. I week before my paper was due I changed my book to Hamlet just so I wouldn't have to read the rest of that thing...and I love reading literature--I'm now an English major. But just becuase it's a "classic" doesn't make it good reading.
Is the review positive or negative?
