[Straight Vermonter]

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

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.

It's a strange book, to be sure, and Mark Twain's complaints are as accurate as they are hilarious, but to me it has a fascination to it because it is a unique record of its time, and it's absurd to say that it "says nothing". There's a lot in there. I've always loved this one:

"The wise Huron is welcome," said the Delaware, in the language of the Maquas. "He is come to eat his succatash,^* with his brothers of the lakes."
