Review title: Real Fiction
Product review: This book is amazingly stupid. As an expat who actually trades the Asian markets for a living, I can tell you first hand that this book is complete fiction. There's nothing of any substance regarding the financial world. The little that he does talk about markets and traders, he manages to both oversimplify and get it wrong. In order to make-up for the lack of real information, Mr. Mezrich spends roughly half the book describing every minutia of every scene. The dust cover talks a bit about Mr. Mezrich transforming himself from a suspense writer to a non-fiction journalist. This book is certainly not journalism. At best, "Ugly Americans" is a third rate novel.
