Silver Linings Playbook

"Silver Linings Playbook" presents a fascinating character study. Pat has recently been sprung out of a mental institution by his mother and is trying to put his life back together. He is a hilarious narrator, I enjoyed seeing life through his eyes and especially liked following his intense daily workouts, which often involved running for ten miles wearing a garbage bag.

I watched the trailer for the movie version that is currently in theatres and it looks quite different from the book. Read the book first!!
