Publisher's Summary

Please note: This audio drama is for mature audiences only. It contains strong language, violence, and sexual content. Discretion is advised.

“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.

a little predictable but still a good ride

Overall a good story. easy to follow and binge. Whereas some parts were predictable the twist at the end was enjoyable. Good for a short story/drama.

Extensive cast in a fine production...

...taken way beyond a narrated book. Like listening to a film without vision, which only makes the scary bits scarier.

Ok but nothing special.

As the title says, it's nothing special to the audiobook that made me want more. I'm just a person who finishes a book.

Riveting

Loved every minute of this audiobook. Except the agent. Her voice nearly killed me toward the end. Apart from that, soooo good!

more of this

Audio films, or whatever term you want to call them, have some way to climb back up to the skill level of their forefather, War of the Worlds. This one is on the right track. A decent script that is elevated by exceptional production values and highly entertaining. I'm not always sold on actors doing voicework but Zachary Quinto is fantastic. more of this, Audible!

A gripping descent into darkness

An intriguing short story about the emotional and psychological depths plumbed by an actor desperate for a juicy role. All the voices and sound effects were well done, and Zachary Quinto's performance was outstanding. All up, a ripping yarn... in every sense.

Amazing multicast thriller

This was amazing to listen to. I love when there are extra boxes and sound effects. Really helps draw you in deeper to the rush of the story as it twists and turns to the conclusion.

The best in audiobooks
