[Andy Luke · Rating 5 out of 5]

Method is a surprising delight. Every sentence flows. The story lures you in, grabs ahold of you and fixates so the pages are turned compulsively. There's a great sense of humour in play balancing the drama. Henry's also brought in experiments in form and formatting which give this gripping tale/s an added visual layer. It's so good to find a great Northern Irish novel that feels all down to earth, completely warped and achieves so much magic. What a thrilling time I spent with this book. 4 stars, as I reserve 5 stars for impact works but then again, because this should have been picked up by a major publisher...
