I thought the book was excellent. I saw the movie first though and absolutely loved it, but after reading the book, I am very disappointed with the movie. It was nothing like the book. In the movie the characters were not even similar to those in the book. The movie barely skimmed the surface of the intricate issues and relationships that are the very heart of the Cooper's novel. I know that not every piece of a novel can be transformed into a screenplay, but this was a very sad attempt. I still like the movie, but I feel they should have given it a different name, because it does not bring the justice deserved to the book, The Last of the Mohicans.
