Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt by Michael Lewis

3.75

adventurous challenging informative medium-paced

---

The 10 hour audiobook is well read by Dylan Baker. Lewis wrote some well-known books such as “The Blindside” and “The Big Short” but I had never heard of this particular one. It talks about the stock exchange and how things have changed by HFT or high-frequency trading, the need for speed,  and how it creates an unfair advantage. The narrator reads it in an interesting voice, but it was so detailed that my mind would just wander. The author introduces a lot of interesting men (and they are all men) and their role on Wall Street. Overall, it was too detailed and not sure how much I’ll actually retain.
