Summary: A review for Last of the Mohicans
Comment: I thought the Last of the Mohicans was a good book and a bad book. I thought it was agood book because of all the suspense throughtout the book. I also liked the book because of how James Cooper described the characters and there surroundings.
I didn't like the book because of how James Cooper phrased things. If you don't read well it would be hard to understand. If you were going to read the Last of the Mohicans you would want to have a old dictionary with you to understand some of the words. One more good thing is that he uses no profanity in this book.

Summary: A tough story to sort out.
Comment: I know this book is a classic, and James Fenimore Cooper sought to fatten these pages with epic sagas of Indian and White-Men wars, placing special emphasis on the pride of every Indian tribe and their greatly diverse natures. He succeeded. The proud and somewhat glorious adventures of these doomed warriors is on every page. The Indian tribes are richly described in their bravery and cunning at war, their knowledge of the land they love and know so much better than the White Man. In the wilderness of the 16th century, we have the Mohicans and the Mingos at war with each other and the white man. It is significant to the author to point out the last of the great Mohican tribe as a symbolic reference that, during this time frame, one tribe at least was near extinction, an omen and future yet to befall the rest of the "owners" of a country much loved and revered by the Indian. What becomes tough for the reader to sort out is this: Some tribes are referred to by three different names - or more, and within these tribes, some Indians themselves by many names. Adventure and fighting are abundant of course, and James Fenimore Cooper even adds a bit of romance and intrigue as a quest for two loved ones underlies much of the story. I am sorry to say I was lost in trying to keep it all straight, and the book put me to sleep more often than not. Still, if you are an adventure lover and particularly interested in 16th century sagas, you may thrill to these pages. If not, it's a pretty good sleeping pill.

Summary: MUSIC to the mind of this musician
Comment: I have been enjoying Steinbeck, Dickens, Plato, Shakespeare and just about everything else since I was small enough to listen to daddy read. Huck Fin, Buck, Kino...they are all my heroes. I read this one out loud to my parents - all of it unabriged - and did not have any trouble despite my fourteen year old mind. The manner Cooper uses to draw you into the story is fascinating...and strange in a world where no one has the patience to enjoy the manner of man that through his writings was discribing himself and trying to earn bread for his table that night. (Which is better than a lot of people can say.)
Cooper's heroes are full of themselves. They are truly "men without a cross" as he, and they, say of themselves. Through the beautiful, melodius eloquence Cooper discribes the men that are much the same as Jonathan Seagull, Jesus Christ, Legolas and even Don Quixote. I respect him for the way that his characters DO what they believe and not wait for someone to back them up. Uncas prooved that well enough - in love or not.
Most of us love The Lord Of The Rings movies, they too kill for the same reason. To save something they believe to be of worth (Read the book, they butchered the movie)I think that everyone would like to have the words honestly said over you that were said over Le Cerf Agile and Cora.
TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHO THE MAN BEHIND THE COOPER MASK REALLY IS. you will then enjoy the adventure of a man's mind greater than any other.
