Most helpful customer reviews on Amazon. I first read Cooper's novel in high school and found it exceedingly difficult to get through, but since I was obsessed with the Daniel Day-Lewis movie version that had just come out in theatres, I wanted to give the book a try.

Granted, this is by no means a modern novel. As a literary form, the novel was still in its infancy when Cooper wrote his book. Now coming back to it years later, I can better appreciate how much the narrative does achieve. It's a great adventure story at heart, but also a story that looks at the gaps between cultures and how various people manage.

For its time, Cooper's book achieved quite a lot and set a higher standard for novels that followed.

Beautiful copy of a gorgeous book. To refute one reviewer, this book was not about pioneer women who moved with their family, most of whom were actually very reluctant to do so. This was about two young women who were daughters of a high-ranking officer in the army. They were sent to find their father. As such, they did not have a home in which they could hide.

One of the women, at least, was quite brave. And both women were extremely well respected, just as they should have been.

Fénimore Cooper - Oeuvres

As to the veracity of the Mohicans and the inconsistency of the Colonel's character, this is a fictional story and like all of our lives, it is not perfect. And to those of you who say the reading is too difficult, what's wrong with challenging your brain? It's rewarding to manage reading and understanding a difficult book.

The first couple of times I started reading this book I could not get past the first few pages. I did not give up on it. The next time I had nothing else to read, but I approached it differently. I skipped the first 50 or so pages and tried again.

The story gripped me and I kept going. When I had decided it was a keeper, I went back to page one and started over to catch what I had missed. When I caught up to what I had already read I just skimmed through to where I had left off, then breezed through to the end, captivated. This was in summer. I read it again the next four summers. When it came up as a Kindle read read, I had to have it.
