"Riveting...fascinating...a novel that will knock readers' socks off...The intricate plot moves at breakneck speed...The reader will be breathless."—Richmond Times-Dispatch

Okay... Definitely OK

I guessed what was going on too early. Still enjoyed the rest, but since it was predictable it felt like a meal that just didn't have enough seasoning. Regardless, Baldacci's a good chef and this dish is okay. A good diversion from the treadmill's pain. Maybe better than that if you don't guess right. Jason Culp's done a lot with the read which keeps the meal totally warm.

Great adventure and mystery

This was a must hear. Faced paced and immensly interesting. It kept your attention all the way through. The plot was well thought out and moved along at a nice pace. Plenty of detail where it was needed.
I really liked it.

Gave Up

Any additional comments?

I gave this book 11 chapters before I finally gave up. I found the storyline very boring. It was somewhat depressing to read about the problems encountered by the main character. Others have mentioned that it gets better but I don't have the time. I don't think I will listen to other books by the author if this is an example of his best work.

Worth every minute.

I truly enjoyed “Last Man Standing” for every bit of research, talent and inspiration that showed in every chapter, every word. The twists and turns, the plot, the story. Thank you, David Baldacci, what a great ride.

Several storylines

The reader was quite adept at changing voices for the various characters- of which there are many. There were several storylines and I had to back the reading up a few times to understand where the story was. Another person did not like what they considered an “unsatisfactory ending “ but I felt it left the ending to one’s imagination. I really wish Mr Baldacci would revisit these characters and tell another story based on this ending.
I listened to the Audible in a couple of days, I found it that interesting.
