One of my favourite books read in the last 70 year

I am insufficiently skilled to praise The Last of The Mohicans as it deserves. I will however, praise the performance which moved the tale along with it's well paced narration and gave life to each character by it's variety of speech. I listen to books now rather than read, and to this book the narration does justice. Thoroughly recommended!

A Delightful Voice

I have read this terrible novel several times and purchased this audiobook to review while out running. I was surprised to find that a near relative of Moira Rose has performed the narrative with style and aplomb. Bravo, Mr. Harrison!

absolutely Amazing.

the book deserves a ten star if it were possible..
it's overall an amazing read.

Great Narrator

Great Narrator and classic story. Makes me want to name all of my hunting guns.

Absolutely fantastic performance

A classic story but the performance of the teller is probably the best I’ve heard.

Wade review.

I agree so much with Reviewer Wade. So I won’t write anything new since he mentioned everything I would have, and if I had, I’m certain his review would have been more coherent than mine!

Shakespeare in the Woods

It’s almost as if Shakespeare was narrating the journey of Lewis & Clark. Enjoyed this much.

better then the movie

excellent narration! beautiful story! will listen again. the Lenni lenape people seem to be portrayed as they were in this fictional history

Very interesting

Superb narrator, really enjoyed this. An education experiment too. A vocabulary builder as well. Had to look up a few cool words.

Mohicans & More

This book is enjoyable from an historical perspective.Considered one of James Fenimore Cooper's best,written in the 1800s, the language is a bit flowery at times but the story flows and the characters are real. Google James Fenimore Cooper for a glimpse into Cooper's prolific works,life and influence on American literary culture,politics and life. A true American of his generation , Cooper had first hand experience with the frontier[particulerly New York State] , the sea ,England,Europe and wrote about those experiences extensively in both fiction and non-fiction.
I do caution you that you will be reading the way novels were written "back then" . But in that period this would have been on the New York Times Best Seller list [had they had such a list] for a Very long time and was read widely and Eagerly all over Europe and Russia..
The EXCELLENT movie with Daniel Day Lewis is only helpful because it captures the Spirit of the book and aids in visualizing the characters. Putting it another way,you don't have to worry about knowing what happens because the movie and the book plots mirror each other only in the slightest.
The narrator does a very good job.
