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

You might be interested to know that Mark Twain was of a similar opinion:

Well, Mark Twain's opinion must be respected.

That said, I enjoyed both LOTM and The Deerslayer. Never got around to the others yet.

JFC was a stiffish writer with no great style, but I liked his story.

That said, the Daniel-Day Lewis version really was much better than the book.
