librarianna81 's review for:
The Last of the Mohicans
by James Fenimore Cooper
I understand wholeheartedly why this was a classic in its day. However, it was just not my cup of tea. A pretty quick read, though. And the story itself was interesting - I had been eager to get a better understanding of the Indian-American relations during the French & Indian War. I would love to know more about that period in America's history. But this was such a localized account, that it wasn't very informative (even as far as historical novels are or are not). I didn't end up feeling much loyalty or passion for any of the characters - they seemed very one-dimensional and sans any sort of personality. But, again - I can see the attraction this book might have held for young boys growing up. And I hear the movie is very good - I will definitely check that out. Daniel Day Lewis!
