FLASH BOYS A Wall Street Revolt

If you have a retirement plan, own mutual funds, or, heaven forbid, trade directly on the American stock exchanges, this audiobook is not going to make your day. Narrator Dylan Baker does a terrific job of delivering this fast, irreverent, complex, and idiosyncratic Wall Street exposé on high-frequency trading (HTF) in a way even non-investors will find informative, entertaining—and scary. Baker uses speed, the lifeblood of HFTs, to infuse his narration with heart-pounding excitement. Baker’s perfect pacing amplifies the story’s intensity and drama in a way that only a truly gifted narrator can. M.C.
