    "I want to listen to this series, but...."

    Love the character, but I can't listen to the narrator. You can hear her swallowing or something during the whole thing. Very annoying. I had to stop listening. If things like that bother you, I wouldn't recommend.

    "Interesting"

    I found the book interesting, kept me interested and entertained...but the horrible narration was really hard to take! The tongue noises and dry mouth took away from the good story. Good mystery though.

    "HORRIFIC reader ... Buyer BEWARE"

    If you want to listen to Barbara Rosenblat suck cough drops and swallow her saliva and gasp for breath during every pause; by all means feel free to waste a credit on this book.

    It was so annoying that I stopped listening after 10 minutes.

    While I love Linda Fairstein, and ordered her entire "Alex Cooper" series, the reader makes it impossible to listen to them.

    Sorry to have wasted my $$$ and credits.

    "A very good book, indeed"
    Where does Final Jeopardy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    I would put Final Jeopardy in the upper middle class of the books I've listened to over the years. It was steady and well done.


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

    This was an ending I had not anticipated until well into the book. It's different and plausible so that was a nice shift from what I was expecting.


    What about Barbara Rosenblat’s performance did you like?

    Barbara Rosenblat has the sultry voice of a Kathleen Turner character. It's low and husky and slightly different from so many other readers. Once I got past the fact that this was a big voiced gal speaking a small woman's role I thoroughly enjoyed her performance.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Perhaps I liked the book as well as I did because it didn't produce an extreme reaction The characters were so well read, the accents so perfect, and the comfort with which they all interacted made this a comfortable listen.


    Any additional comments?

    It's easy to forget that the same person is doing all the parts in Final Jeopardy. Barbara Rosenblatt is more than equal to the task. She is marvelous with the male voices and makes Mike, the NYPD cop with whom she works, a great guy, someone I'd like to know. All the characters are quite separate with voices and inflections of their own. Well done.

    "A surprise ending!!!!!"
    What made the experience of listening to Final Jeopardy the most enjoyable?

    The Narrator. She was great with doing the different voices, especially Lt. Wallace.


    What other book might you compare Final Jeopardy to and why?

    Dark Horse by Tami Hoag. Similar twists and turns.


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

    No, just other Linda Fairsteins. I enjoyed this one more.


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

    No.


    Any additional comments?

    No.

    "Alexandra Cooper ROCKS! Thanks Ms. Fairstein!"
    If you could sum up Final Jeopardy in three words, what would they be?

    A real good listen


    What did you like best about this story?

    The characters are so well developed and defined. You can easily draw a vivid mental photo of them.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    It was all good


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

    No, I have a 3 hour commute every day. However when it got to the last few chapter, I found myself listening while at home.


    Any additional comments?

    I'm a huge Patterson fan, so I felt like I was cheating on him by listening to another author. I saw Linda Fairstein recently on the Today show and thought I would give her a listen, as she sounded like she was writing the kind of books that hold my attention. Although the book was long, I guess it was necessary to get the story told. I could do without all of the other little stories that were being told within the book. I'm hooked and am on to book # 2.

    "Not worth the effort"
    What disappointed you about Final Jeopardy?

    Could not stand Barbara Rosenblat's voice. She makes the character sound like an arrogant bitch. Alex Cooper is not believable. Too gifted and know it all. The charmed life is not necessary and detracts from the story.


    Has Final Jeopardy turned you off from other books in this genre?

    No, just this author. I had collected all her books but am now selling them as I have no desire to read more.


    How could the performance have been better?

    Get a different reader.


    What character would you cut from Final Jeopardy?

    Alex Cooper. I really like Mike. He is real.
