I bought the notes to aid me decipher a bit of Cooper's long-winded style. It did so, but it lacked a bit in how it covered the background for the book and the native American tribes of the NE. I would have liked to have also seen a glossary of some of the terms (even Cooper gave his own glossary points throughout his own book)

I loved reading this book. I know that at first I was reluctant to read it because it was long and complicated, but when I actually read it it captivated me and I fell in love with the plot. Cooper is one of the best writers of all time. I like the way he writes because he shows true romance. His long sentences show what real writing is all about. You just can't find a book like his because now, everyone's always rushing; never having time for anything. This book defines mastermind. I would like to thank the person who encouraged me to read it.
