Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt- Before Reading

While reading some news last night, I stumbled upon an article saying that Wall Street was rigged. I clicked on it thinking it would be a pointless confusing article but instead it talked about a book that happened to be released yesterday by Michael Lewis addressing this topic called Flash Boys. This topic seemed really interesting so I read a little bit about the book and I already have read a book by Michael Lewis so I decided to get it. First off, Michael Lewis is the author of several books-turned-movies such as Moneyball and The Blind Side. I read Moneyball  and enjoyed it so I figured this would be good too, even though they are different topics. Back to the news article, I looked into how it was rigged very briefly and my mind exploded. The things that are happening are just amazing and you really don't think about them. I would try to explain the things I read now, but I do not understand all of them (partially in disbelief and partially because its confusing) so I will try to explain them in the next two blogs post about this book. Overall I am really looking forward to reading this because it got great reviews and is already number one on the Amazon Best Sellers list.
