Boston’s own Ben Mezrich was at the Boston University Barnes and Noble book store on Monday evening to speak about his new book, Rigged. The new novel, from the method writer that has become quite popular after the success of Bringing Down the House and Ugly Americans, follows the true story of a Harvard Business School MBA grad who changed the world of oil, from Wall Street to Dubai.
Ben spoke in a very humbled tone on Monday night, answering questions and discussing the various predicaments he, and more so his writing alter ego, has been through over the past 10 years since delving into non-fiction thrillers that oftentimes chronicle smart and savvy entrepreneurs at heart.
If you appreciate the entrepreneurism at the heart of many Mezrich protagonists (at least from his non-fiction work), Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook or Crush It! by Gary Vaynerchuk may also be titles you should consider reading.

Reports are in, Mezrich’s novel Rigged is a page turner. Absolutely worth the read.
Read this just before the holidays. I ended up buying it for a friend. It was excellent.
Two thumbs up plus a big toe! This is a must read.
Want to know what traders/’suits’ do after work, or even during work? This book gives a glimpse into their whirlwind life. The anecdotes may seem outrageous to normal folk, but to the traders/’suits’ its just another day! I was at first skeptical of debauchery that was described, but a former trader friend of mine attests to the craziness detailed in this non-fiction gem.
