Over 60 years ago, I enjoyed this book when I read it for a high school class and read the rest of the series on my own.

Still, I enjoyed Mark Twain's critique on Cooper's work and laughed all the way through.

Hundreds of pages too long. This as well as his other Leatherstocking tales could get the point across in half the text.
Way too much description, and characters' dialogue too long-winded saying basically the same points over and over again.

"This book is the last of the Leatherstocking books, though first in the chronology of the hero's life. The Deerslayer is Cooper's masterpiece."
