Limitless by Alan Glynn
4.0
If you're expecting a light and fluffy read, just like the movie, then you're sadly mistaken. Although the story mostly follows the same plot points like the movie, it is also much much darker and we get to see a lot more of Eddie's thoughtprocess. That last part is what makes this book so different and interesting to read. At it's heart, this is a very metaphysical book.
All the characters from the movie are there too. The rich Financial Guru Carl van Loon, The Lowlife Ex-Brother in Law Vernon Gant, and many more. But in comparison to Eddie, they are quite weak and 2-dimensionally written.
In this case however, that's not a problem at all. They actually complement Eddie's self reflective nature.
I gave this book 4 stars, although it is darker than the movie it adds a more mature view of the story and gives us more insights to enjoy.
