It helps if you’re used to the pacing of 19th Century novels.

all the familiarity with 19th century technique in the world could not save ‘Last of the Mohicans’...what absolute drudgery, trying to read it...

I haven’t tried to read any Cooper novels since junior high, when we didn’t have to read the whole thing, just excerpts in an anthology.

Did you ever see the original "Rollerball"? Did you ever see the remade "Rollerball"?

Sometimes there's just no substitute for real, live-action stunts.
