A review by judelon
The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper
3.0
This was my Epic tale entry for my book challenge. It checks most of the boxes.
An epic is defined as:
1) a story or long poem--check, definitely long
2) telling the tale of a fictional or historical hero--check, Natty Bumpo, Chingachgook, and Uncas are as heroic as it gets
3) elevated language, tone, and style--check. I recommend hearing it aloud, as I did. But maybe go at 1.5x speed, because I began to think I'd never hear the last of the Mohicans.
I'm really not in the demographic.
