About this listen

A mysterious worldwide epidemic reduces the birthrate of female infants from 50 percent to less than one percent. Medical science and governments around the world scramble in an effort to solve the problem, but 25 years later there is no cure, and an entire generation grows up with a population of fewer than 1000 women.

Zoey and some of the surviving young women are housed in a scientific research compound dedicated to determining the cause. For two decades, she's been isolated from her family, treated as a test subject, and locked away - told only that the virus has wiped out the rest of the world's population.

Captivity is the only life Zoey has ever known, and escaping her heavily armed captors is no easy task, but she's determined to leave before she is subjected to the next round of tests...a program that no other woman has ever returned from. Even if she's successful, Zoey has no idea what she'll encounter in the strange new world beyond the facility's walls. Winning her freedom will take brutality she never imagined she possessed, as well as all her strength and cunning - but Zoey is ready for war.

The narrator is not well matched to the character of the main player in the book.

The mismatch makes listening to the book discordant and spoils the performance .

Interesting theme

Would you try another book written by Joe Hart or narrated by Dara Rosenberg?

Not based on this audio book...

Has The Last Girl put you off other books in this genre?

No each genre has its own bad books... this is unfortunately one of them.

Would you be willing to try another one of Dara Rosenberg’s performances?

No, its a poor narration...hard to follow with the style she reads with.

Very poor narration!

I'll start by saying that I seriously considered putting this down and not coming back at the beginning. The first 1/4 was slow and came across as whiny, and made me question my book choice. However, I hate leaving books unfinished and it paid off with this one.
After a lacklustre opening it begins to pick up speed, moving forward into a well formed story with some genuinely brave and interesting characters.
So bear with it... it's worth the wait!

Starts slow, but redeems itself in the end

this was a fantastic read I couldn't stop listening it definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat I think the narrator is very pleasant to listen to and Joe heart the author is very in depth with how he writes you actually feel like you're there with the characters
