    "Best of the Series"

    Like the other books in the series, the author describes why the characters, especially the main character, says or does EVERYTHING, to the point of aggravation.

    There is a lot of redundancy from the redundancy department in this book as well :)

    The author is very good at describing the action, and there is more action, suspense, and adventure in this book as compared to the previous ones.

    Overall, it was decent to good, and I wanted to finish it once I started.

    The reader was good.

    "HOOKED ON JOHN RAIN !"
    Where does The Last Assassin rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    All the John Rain books are definitely among the very best.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The characters. I love Dox. The exciting movement which made me want to keep reading.


    Which character – as performed by Michael McConnohie – was your favorite?

    Dox.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Of course. I didn't want it to end.


    Any additional comments?

    Just wish there were more John Rain books or others that I could enjoy like this series.

    "John Rain doesn't make a splash for me"

    As intriguing a concept of the Asian hit man is, I can never find any real depth to his character. This book attempts to show his selfless side in protecting his son and the son's thankless mother; but that comes off as more of a natural instinct than strength of character or conviction. I find him forgettable soon after I finish a book.

    "Great Story except for the frequent F --- words"
    Would you try another book from Barry Eisler and/or Michael McConnohie?

    See full review for Killing Rain


    What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

    Wrapped up the lose ends of the story and didn't leave you hanging, but clearly left it open for the next book in the series.


    Did Michael McConnohie do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

    Fair


    Do you think The Last Assassin needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    It has a whole series

    "The "Last" John Rain"

    If you have liked the John Rain series and have been reading them in order, you might want to stop with this one. The next in the series has John Rain overly introspective and the narrator overly dramatic. I stubbornly stuck it out to the end but had no satisfaction in doing so.

    Please, please Audible, do not use Scott Brick with this author again. Stick with Michael McConnohie or one of the other readers of this series.

    "Second in the series"

    This is the second book in a series of three books on the Assassin John Rain. Thhis second book has done little to change my views on Barry Eisler as an author. A fair story, but rather one dimensional characters and plot.

    The problems is now I am hooked on what has happened to Rain and want to listen to the final book to find out what happens to this man.

    I love to read espionage and criminal thrillers. My lifestyle doesn't allow time to sit and read so audio books is really an enjoyment.

    "Eisler does it again"
    What made the experience of listening to The Last Assassin the most enjoyable?

    This book has an outstanding base line. It is well put together and kept my attention.


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    Yes it did. The author sets you up and keeps you wondering what is next.
