Good read and Wall Street and mechanisms kind of slip away during the main plot but interesting to see how the writer has managed to make it a good financial thriller
adityahadi's review against another edition

Paul Murray really like to move fast. When he decided to resign from athletic after got a Bronze Medal in Olympic, he tried some new world, which is fast too. Debt Analyst in a bank, and finally he chose to be a trader.
However, everything is looked like bullshit for him. Debbie, his best friend is suddenly dead; his investigation to a doubtful investment met a road-block; his mother's house is likely to be sold by its owner; rejected by a girl that he loved.
Obviously, this book make me can't resist from trading world. It is an interesting world, although you need to really read the book to understand how the story changing. I really feel hard to get away from this book.
Lesson for a trader-wanna-be : Don't trust anyone, even he looked like an Angel.
:D
