Just saw the movie "Limitless" (*) a few days ago. Then read the book (had been released some time before and had been somewhat successful). Then saw the movie again.
The book was good enough, but actually the movie was "smoothing some edges" and adding some details.
I found both interesting, but slightly prefer the movie.

This rarely happens. Usually I prefer the book, especially over gigantic blockbuster productions...

(*) Interesting topic. A writer receives pills, which awaken the brain's full potential. From 10% we're actually using to the full 100%. The possibilities are limitless. So are the side effects. For how long can you burn the candle from both ends? And what would be your life choices?
I found this especially interesting. I'm in the middle of changing jobs. And in today's (western) society, you don't need some pills. The options already are more or less limitless. But what to make out of it?
