New Ben Mezrich book Rigged
If you haven’t heard of Ben Mezrich yet then you will. He writes books based on true stories. He has written two books about Ivy League kids taking down Vegas called Bringing Down the House and Breaking Vegas. He has written about the shady world of ex-pats and the Japanese yakuza in Ugly Americans . Now, he tackles the Crude Oil market in his latest book Rigged. He always writes a quick paced adventure that will keep you up all night reading.
Another interesting topic for me is mp3 music marketing. Highlights and reviews I read at stereoballs.blogspot.com
This book should be good. I wasn’t a huge fan of Ugly Americans because he was a little too negative on hedge funds and kinda made them all sound the same as the one that “John Malcolm” worked at. They are definitely all like that. but the story was entertaining. Bringing Down The House was a blast though and more accurate. I have a few buddies that play on a Blackjack team and they are different folks. Smart as it gets but kinda strange. And their casino stories pretty much match the ones in the book. This new book should be pretty good. Nice site by the way.
They are definitely {not} all like that. Here is an edit to my previous post.
