Michael Lewis knows how to tell a story Vanity Fair riveting Janet Maslin, The New York Times You've got to get this Jon Stewart, The Daily Showĭazzling. Read moreĪ beautiful narrative, so well-written. You won't believe it until you've read it. And it's about the madness that has taken hold of the financial markets today. It's the story of what it's like to declare war on some of the richest and most powerful people in the world. In Flash Boys, Michael Lewis tells the explosive story of how one group of ingenious oddballs and misfits set out to expose what was going on. This is a market that's rigged, out of control and out of sight a market in which the chief need is for speed and in which traders would sell their grandmothers for a microsecond. And the very few who do aren't about to tell - because they're making a killing. Even the experts entrusted with your cash don't know what's happening to it.
