It's one of the best business journalism books I've read. And Lewis himself said he would have cast guys like Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill in the roles of the twentysomething Berkeley kids who were trading from a backyard shed. Still, to live up to the material, this has gotta be the best thing McKay's done. By far.

The token "financial crisis best-selling exposé" book cover.

Could be interesting
