The Last of the Mohicans is a great book. I read it 3 months ago. I saw the movie and that's cool too.
It's about two ladies and a guy are going to their father. Onthe way there attacked. Then Hawkeye and two other indians save them. They take them to their father,but are attacked many mor times on the way.
It's full of action and fighting. It's awsome.

This review is from: The Last of the Mohicans (Great Illustrated Classics (Playmore)) (Hardcover)

This book is one of the greatest books that I have ever read. The reason for saying this is that the book's genre, adventure, is one of my personal favorites, plus James Fennimore Cooper is my second favorite author. The book is loaded with imagery. It sparks your imagination into picturing just exactly where you are at and who is involved in the story that could possibly be around you.
When you first start reading you get caught in the elaborate setting. You are given a straight out setting of a hot summer day in July 1757. Immediately you're imagination is caught in the building of the stories plot.
I would strongly recommend this book to all ages. This book gives you some history and a lot of rising-falling action to keep you reading. There is no strong language but there is some death. It can be overcome, to read a great book. You will more than likely be stunned by the ending, because ... you'll have to read it to find out.
Once you pick up this book you won't be able to put it down. There are so many twists, surprises, and exciting spots in the book that you will want to read the rest of what is happening. Before you know what has happened you are lurched into another portion of the exciting plot. It is well written with several leads to each part of the book. You will end up wanting to read the story again to see what you missed the first time through.

This review is from: The Last of the Mohicans (Great Illustrated Classics (Playmore)) (Hardcover)

I read the description twice, as well as the reviews, and I didn't see any mention of this being a children's book. If I missed it somewhere, then mea culpa, but it's nowhere made clear. No, pictures don't say it has to have modified language, at least not to me. Some of the best books ever have illustrations, and I thought this would be one of them. There's no flaw in the story, but if you don't realize it's an adaptation, then you're not buying what you thought you were buying.
