The only good thing about this book is that it was a really quick read.
This blog is a simple review of every book that I read... For all books I’ll tell you why I picked it, how long it took me to read it, and give it a rating (burn it, not good, meh, good, very good, and required reading). I ask (encourage?) all readers of my blog to post their thoughts of any of the books in my comments :). Thanks!

2012-24 - Rigged, by Ben Mezrich
24 - Rigged, by Ben Mezrich, 320 pages, Harper Perennial, 2008
Ben tells the tale of a middle class kid who worked his way through Oxford and Harvard ... who found himself working for the New York Mercantile Exchange, where billions of dollars of crude oil is traded each week. This is the story of how he (quickly) got promoted to VP Strategy (at the age of 25!), and sought to revolutionize the industry... while struggling to understand the hard and fast lifestyle of the young and extremely rich.
The only good thing about this book is that it was a really quick read.
