Blurb

“Once this journey takes hold, I find I’m able to think as my character thinks, act as he acts, and feel what my character is feeling…”

James Patterson leads you into the darkest recesses of the mind with this chilling, immersive audio thriller. We meet Brent Quill, a frustrated actor trying to take his game to the next level. When he learns about the intensive Method acting process, he dives in deep—and immediately lands the lead role in a TV series about a brutal serial killer.

But when the Method’s controversial techniques start to take over Brent’s psyche, the lines between real life and acting begin to blur dangerously. How far will Brent go to “become” the character?

Starring Zachary Quinto (Star Trek, Heroes), Stephanie Beatriz (Encanto, Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Lil Rel Howery (Get Out), and a full cast, The Method is pure James Patterson—a roller-coaster ride of lies, coverups, and dark deeds.

Review

This one was mostly okay, but nothing that standout. It shares some similar thematrics to Self Help, which I ready and reviewed last year. Main character listens to book, loses control of own actions. I prefer the story in Self Help, although the production value was a little more immersive in The Method. I honestly don’t know if I have ready any Patterson before, so when the blurb said this is “pure Patterson” I guess we’ll just have to trust that one. Quinto does okay as the main character, although the accent wore on me. I heart Beatriz from her Nine-Nine days, but this one does not really let her do too much. I’m pretty sure this was a free download when it was released, which is how it wound up in my library. I hope so at least. Audible is vast. I’m okay with wasting my time. I don’t like wasting credits.
