An engrossing story from start to finish. Super narration. The many characters are drawn in great detail. The 19th Century writing is highly approachable.

This is a description of the horror of life as a slave. It is a gripping, well-plotted story. The narration is superb. I am white. Black people know the story all too well. The truth of the story should be known by all.

I am an eighty year old, straight, white man. I know little of ballet. This book is a fascinating description of the strength, determination, suffering, and sisterhood of superb artists in gaining the recognition that is so often denied black Americans. The story is sometimes hard to hear, but so very necessary to be told. I will be watching videos of these dancers and their ballets.

The author consulted amount of world literature, from myth to peer reviewed research. He coordinated global literature that was written in response to specific events, such as volcanic activity, to illustrate effects over larger or smaller geographic and temporal scale. The author’s reading was very good.

What really interested me was the very sympathetic depiction of Indians as very smart, sympathetic and patient. The delusional Chicago mug. The study of this guy was fascinating. Even though the end was obvious long before it was reached .

The book was very hard to follow. Many characters and unrelated, convoluted plots. The relationship between Leonid and Zella was revealed early and I missed it. A difficult and confusing book to read . The reader was good

As I approach my 9th Decade I had never read anything by Walter Scott until now. This is a highly readable book. The writing is fully accessible (apart from long absence from Latin). I know nothing of Scottish history so am very pleased to have read this exciting account of a momentous time. There is so very much I just do not know of the history and religion of Scotland, but now I have a sense. The many and varied characters, main and subsidiary, were wonderfully drawn. Finally, Scott described the many places where this story is set in a way that makes me want to visit them. Finally finally, Mr Rintouil’s reading was superb. This is a highly engaging historical novel and I will be reading more from Sir Walter Scott.

Classic American story. The reader was very good. Interesting that when Deerslayer was written, 1841, there was awareness of the sad consequences of colonization on Native Americans. Cooper understood that the notion of White cultural superiority was a poor myth, that Spirituality is not unique to white Christians and that not all Christians follow the teachings of their bible. The writer dwells overlong on moralizing, hitting the reader repeatedly and at great length on the fact of cultural equivalency , that Europeans and Indians each have their respective ‘gifts’ that are suited to their respective circumstances. Cooper is unduly harsh in judging Judith, not granting her the possibility that her love for Deerslayer revealed her basic goodness. She deserved better.

The reading was superb. A fascinating book. But difficult. Subjects of giving up both bad and good by the promise of America only to be disappointed, and the slow emergence of recognition of the tremendous potential of women. Hard to read the failure of communication, the corrosive nature of obsession .
