Flash Boys is accurate in the important details. Do your own research and you'll learn that a) HFT is one of the most interesting topics in the news today and b) a lot of pro-Wall Streeters love to straight-up lie about it, or maintain that HFT is the solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Good book. One of the very few readable books about the modern opaque financial world, but I can recommend a couple more if you want to hate the subject.
