Key item features

Publishers Weekly,Veteran actor Baker brings his distinct patrician manner, with its smooth elocution and precise pronunciation, to the audio edition of Lewis's investigation into the world of high-frequency stock trading. The book chronicles a new band of marketplace rebels who engaged in a David and Goliath battle with Wall Street to level the playing field for investors. Baker's polished vocal mannerisms, though characteristic of the stodgy stereotypes of today's business tycoons, provide an effective contrast with the diverse cast of outlaws in the book. Issues of ethnicity remain at the heart of this tension, as technically gifted Wall St. outsiders from around the globe fuel the movement with their discomfort of the mainstream American financial industry. Baker's portrayal of Russian immigrant programmer Sergey Aleynikov is especially striking and evocative. Though not quite as dramatic, Baker's voicing of Irish finance expert Ronan Ryan also leaves an impression upon the listener. A Norton hardcover. (Apr.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

Entertaining story!

I've enjoyed this tremendously. This could be a very technical topic told another way but the author has done a wonderful job of telling a complex story in a very simple and entertaining fashion. Get this book.

wow - It's all in the details

Koodoos to you AGAIN MIchael Lewis. I had watched the 60 minutes story about this trading but when I read this book, I was amazed about what was really going on under the surface in trading and between trading houses. I loved the book! Michael Lewis writes very easy to read books which enlighten you about the world. I highly recommend this book.
