I finally picked up the LEC Last of the Mohicans aq few months ago--after waiting forev er to find a fine copy that didn't cost an arm and a leg. It is wonderful, but of all the Cooper LECs, and I finally have them all, The Prairie is the finest--best written, best illustrated, most ...

People don't always prefer the book to the movie. For example, I preferred the movie to Cooper's Last of the Mohicans . And while I liked both the movie and King's story, I think the movie of Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption was better.
Would like to mention that Last of the Mohicans was actually by James Fenimore Cooper. I mention this for two reasons: I live in Cooper territory (near Cooperstown, in fact, though the town is now better known for baseball than Cooper himself). But the better reason to mention this is that Mark Tw ...
