The Last of The Mohicans was unreadable. Long, boring and did I mention long & boring. And lets not forget boring. And long.

One of the few movies that was much better than the book.

Yes. I was excited to take the book to read on a trip but it just made every minute of travel seem like it would never end. So many words to say so little.

You aught to try RODRICK RANDOM. It is an adventure story told in narrative. Lo-o-n-g and boring. even though there is lots of adventure in it they just could not deliver the story in an exciting way.
