I didn’t realize that the new movie (Limitless) was based off a book I had already read and reviewed, The Dark Fields (my review) by Alan Glynn. Now, the book and the movie are very different stories (as discussed by Alan Glynn and screenwriter Leslie Dixon(writer on Hairspray, The Thomas Crown Affair and Mrs. Doubtfire) on IO9), so I am sort of curious how big the changes are.

The Dark Fields by Alan Glynn
The Dark Fields by Alan Glynn is a biochemical version of Flowers for Algernon. While The Dark Fields is labeled a techno-thriller and the book doesn’t touch on disabled rights, the basic plot points are very similar. But don’t expect a weepy emotional book, this is definitely a thriller.
