I enjoyed the film quite a lot, though I was sorry Uncas had to die. Plus I thought he and Alice should get together even though I knew it would never happen. I felt bad for her - she's the younger sister and she was trying at the fort but then she's kidnapped again! And no one is promising to find her no matter what the distance.

I can imagine I wouldn't really enjoy the book though I'm curious to read one of Cooper's books as I haven't read that much American literature from that period.
