A Goodreads user asked this question about The Last of the Mohicans (The Leatherstocking Tales, #2):
why on earth is this book so BORING?

I'm six chapters in and there hasn't been a dull moment. It starts with action, and continues with action, and more action. Not only that, but it is given enough depth to draw the reader in so that they too can feel the intensity of the constant chase.

As for the dated wording of the text and speech of it's characters - I've read several other books that are a much greater struggle. I find Cooper's prose to be quite accessible if you are at a high school reading level.(less)
