This phrase reminded me of the time I tried to read Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales. 18th century literature can tend to be rather turgid and a bit purple, but the characters weren't even interesting. In this instance abridgment really isn't enough. See A Movie.
Seriously, who actually read those things and found
a movie in them? Someone with more time and patience than I posses.
