Beyond Limitless

This week I was interested in reading the book, The Dark Field, by Alan Glynn. As I had heard much about the movie,Limitless, released several years ago I was interested in reading the book.
The book started off describing the main character and how he lives in a one room apartment, which seems to be too much for him. After losing his job once again, his girlfriend decides she does not appreciate his low life, leading her to leave him. Although the girlfriend stress was not on his mind anymore, he had to come up with ways to pay his one room apartment rent.
The main character, Eddie Spinola, spends much of his time outside of his apartment drinking at bars. Once his girlfriend leaves and he loses his job he is clueless, not sure what to do with his life. At a local coffee shop Eddie runs into an old friend who is rather successful. Of course Eddie was jealous! Comparing himself to his colleges he had made it nowhere while others were prospering in numerous ways. Eddies friend was a clever business-like gentlemen, who was willing to help Eddie, after hearing his tragic story.
After meeting with an old friend Eddie was ready to be successful again he was looking for a new path and all he needed was someone to guide him. In the end of this chapter Eddie's friend offers him a drug that could be magical that could open up all corners of his brain and make his life perfect and the drug is FDA APPROVED! The question is do the limits approve?
