Edition DescriptionMedia tie-in
SynopsisNow a major motion picture starring Bradley Cooper, Robert DeNiro, and Abbie Cornish. Alan Glynn's Limitless is a high-concept thriller for this Adderall age, and a haunting meditation on the allure and the curse of human potential. A burnout at thirty-five, months behind on his book, low on cash, and something of a loser, Eddie Spinola could use a shot in the arm. One day he randomly runs into Vernon, his ex-wife's brother, and his ex-dealer. Now employed by a shadowy pharmaceutical company, Vernon has something that might help: a new designer drug that stimulates brain function. One pill and Eddie is hooked. His book is finished within days; he learns and synthesizes information at a frightening rate; and he can go a long time without sleep or food. Naturally, he begins to play the stock market. But when Vernon turns up dead, Eddie makes off with the only stash of the drug in existence. Then come the side effects: black-outs, blinding headaches, and violent outbursts he can't seem to remember., THE INSPIRATION FOR THE CBS SERIES, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER BRADLEY COOPER A burnout at thirty-five, months behind on his book, low on cash, and something of a loser, Eddie Spinola could use a shot in the arm.

Great way to read “The Dark Fields” on the cheap!
When books serve as the inspiration for a movie, it’s always interesting to compare the two. I loved the movie. I own it, have watched it several times, enjoy it more each time. Now, having read the book, I experienced a mix of expectation and surprise, as the similarities were outshined by the differences. Without giving away any spoilers, imagine a basic story line with two vastly different f eels and endings. Both are worthy in their own way. I will definitely reread the book.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
