A nice, albeit a bit drawn out, tour de force over the HFT (high-frequency trading) debacle. Probably the most successful overview of HFT fallacies for a layman I've seen so far. Personally, I think a lot of retrospectives and musings about motivations throughout the book didn't add a lot to the narrative making it more diluted (and yes, somewhat boring), but overall it was an enjoyable read. In any case, despite its [small] shortcomings, this is the book that put HFT on the map of public awareness and it should be lauded for that especially.

Verdict: recommended, especially if your job title has DA, SEC, or FINRA in it :-)
