Always Pouting's Reviews > Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt

Honestly investment and stock exchange is something that bores me to death so I was putting off having to read this one for a while and today I forced myself to get it over with. I was surprised to find that the book was really interesting though, I had no clue about High Frequency Traders or dark pools or even the arrest of Sergey Aleynikov which is honestly absurd. I think the information was accessible and easy to understand but I don't think it would be interesting to anyone who didn't have some interest in the engineering or math of the whole thing. I did feel bogged down by the details though especially of the people involved and their back stories. I know the whole purpose of the book was to talk about the small group of people trying to change things but I thought all the logistic stuff was the most interesting aspect of the book.
