Yeah, I thought it was quite good. I like most all of Michael Lewis' stuff though, even the non trading ones like Moneyball. I'm glad they're making a movie out of this one. It's a great story.
I have the book and i read the book
it was one of those books i read in one single effort
you start reading it and you're caught in it
fascinating story
I look forward to see this movie
When i was in California in 2004 i had a feeling..
this is not real
this is not possible
I have the same vision today about Europe currently
still haven't figured out how to monetize it
but this time i don't want to miss the opportunity...

I read the book, and as @rleplae said "it was one of those books i read in one single effort you start reading it and you're caught in it".
Unfortunately as @Pariah Carey said "He's entertaining but facts are not his strong suit."
This is Lewis's 4th or 5th book that demonize's the financial system and as entertaining as it was I now wonder how objective and un-biased it actually it is. Interestingly the trailer makes this look even more anti-bank than I remember the book being. But hey, beating up wall street sells well.
