    "Flynn and Guidall, a lock for success"
    Would you listen to The Last Man again? Why?

    As a rule I would not listen to an entire book a second time. But with really good authors like this one, I will go back after listening to a portion and re-listen to a specific section. Flynn takes you on a journey and you can miss some turns the first time down the road.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Rapp and Kennedy, both great characters. Also enjoy the rough edge of Hurley. Vince Flynn works these characters together nicely and Guidall brings them to life.


    Which character – as performed by George Guidall – was your favorite?

    Hurley


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

    No, I like the pleasure to last longer than one sitting.


    Any additional comments?

    Mitch Rapp, fantastic series. I hope it continues soon.

    "Another Great Mitch Rapp Book"

    Vince Flynn has continued to perfect and refine his long lineage of Mitch Rapp books and I think The Last Man was yet another highly entertaining listen.

    My only gripe with The Last Man was where they took Mitch Rapp early in the novel. It's an overused ploy and it just felt a little tacked on to make the story work. Otherwise I just sat back and enjoyed yet another amazing CIA thriller.

    I'm a regular guy who got tired of listening to the radio when I drive. Now I listen to anything that might intrigue or entertain me.

    "A True Masterpiece"
    Would you consider the audio edition of The Last Man to be better than the print version?

    Well, since I rarely read books anymore and never read a book while listening to it, I wouldn't be able to answer this question. How many people actually read and listen to a book anyway?


    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Last Man?

    Rapp is put completely out of commission and doesn't remember much of anything for a while.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    When Rapp is being a nice guy due to a head injury.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    when I heard that old guy had 6 months to live.


    Any additional comments?

    You think you know what is happening and then there is a twist and everything changes. It's like a murder mystery taking a twist, except this isn't a murder mystery kind of book. Unlike many authors who struggle to come up with new ideas and whose new books are frequently stale, Vince Flynn continues to deliver in the Mitch Rapp series. This book might just be one of the top 3 in that series.

    "Meh... I love Mitch Rapp, but not this one."
    What would have made The Last Man better?

    This is a very lazy book... the plot is very straightforward and thin with very little action or suspense. Guess what happens at the end of the book? Mitch Rapp kills them all (big shocker, huh?).I've loved many of the previous Mitch Rapp novels, but this one is really not up to snuff.Sorry to say, this one I could have just missed.


    What could Vince Flynn have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    Better plot, better editing, more depth in writing.


    Have you listened to any of George Guidall’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    George Guidall is always excellent.

    "We could use a few more guys like Mitch!"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    yes, very entertaining, and not hard to follow. I am not fluent in military lingo and kept up just fine.


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

    indeed. lots of action and pin point wittiness!


    Which character – as performed by George Guidall – was your favorite?

    Mitch, hands down.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    when Mitch met the police officer at the safe house.

    "OK"

    It's been said that Puccini's operas are young adult fare. The same could be said for Vince Flynn's books, and they succeed in that way, some better than others. This one is OK, but it feels written in a hurry, without the effort of some of his earlier work. This one is not richly plotted, and the characters are thin. Hurley, many books ago, was genuinely interesting with lots of telling interplay with Rapp, but not here, where he's a cliche with lazy lines and anemic action.

    Contrast the arc of Flynn's books — great when he started out and worked hard to hurried and anemic now — with Stieg Larsson's, which began terrific and stayed that way until he died too soon.

    "Could not stop listening"

    Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp is a page turner, or in audible's case, an ear bender. Excellent book in every way. I will be listening to the entire series!

    "Better than Baldacci"
    What made the experience of listening to The Last Man the most enjoyable?

    I like the characters and the excitement. I'm always surprised that I enjoy an author who has Rush Limbaugh on his web sight, but I do. I like the relationship between Irene Kennedy and Mitch and I found bringing in a villain from another book very intriguing.

    Good narrator.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Liked when Irene Kennedy one ups the FBI


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    Not exactly the kind of book that "moves " you.
