content: Excuse me, but I have read Melville and Dickens(I adore Dickens)and I would please like to ask one reviewer(and if they're reading this they know who they are) what is so intellectual about The Last of the Mohicans? Did you see the word classic on the cover and decide that this must be intellectual and thought provoking? Come on! Its your standard no brainer adventure story! Im sure that if it was a modern book you wouldn't be so enthusiastic! I've saw modern melodramatic crap like this on the best sellers rack at Krogers. Tell me you read it for the senseless violence, or for the one dimensional characters, but please dont say you read it for intellectual reasons.
