Book 8, Blog 2

Sigh. Chapters 1-4 are not particularly lengthy, but I am simply slogging though this book. Hawkeye (our protagonist) has been introduced, as have the other players in this tale - the young women, the pale-faced soldiers, the sneaky Magua...

I'm just not loving it! I'm so impatient! Let's get on with this, shall we?!? Perhaps I should have read the first book first (although, this is the most famous in the series). I also do not love the writer being the narrator, making statements like, "let us leave them for a while and go to another part of the woods", etc. etc.

I will press on...but most likely pick up an Outlander or Sookie Stackhouse book to read along with it. I can generally motivate myself to read something I'm not in love with by pacing myself through another, more enjoyable book. For example, "I have to read two more chapters of The Last of the Mohicans before I can read another chapter in Outlander."
