This was quite a book! The basic premise - about a drug that provides the mental equivalent of the performance-enhancing drugs that sportsmen use - is quite straightforward. We hear the story from Eddie Spinola, who is a user of the drug, talking retrospectively. The story is gritty with some surprising twists. I suppose I was broadly sympathetic with Eddie and began to care about his fate.
The book soon had me hooked and turning the pages. I plan to get the DVD to see the movie.
