    <body><![CDATA[Quite satisfactory, all things considered.  This is Cooper's first noteworthy novel. At any rate, it is the first he didn't mind acknowledging as his, and it is the one that launched American historical fiction in 1821.  The melodrama is laid on thick: &quot;Frances sobbed a moment on his bosom, and...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60068801">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My all time favorite Cooper book. It is set in the time of the Revolutionary War. I spent the whole time trying to figure out which character was the spy and which side they where spying on. Can't say more or I'd spoil the ending.<br/>]]></body>

Sometimes, with classics, the language is just way too difficult and abstract and the story is not...capturing ...but I liked the story, I liked the descriptions of battle and the 'mystery' of the spy.
