I have the book, but haven't read it - its on my too-read list like so many others. Best scene in the movie was when Hawkeye was leaving Cora at the waterfall - that is such a powerful scene.
As for Hawkeye being an older man in the book - this is Hollywood - they need a young hunk to bring in the crowds, so of course they had to make him younger.
An interesting aside - the actor who played Uncas - is actually Inuit.
