For the first time in nearly two months, Veronica Roth's Divergent was not the top selling title on Apple's iBooks bestseller list. After a much-discussed 60 Minutes appearance, some ensuing blowback from Wall Street, and one explosive debate on live TV, Flash Boys, Michael Lewis's look into the world of high-speed trading, claimed the #1 spot for the week ended April 7. Lewis's book, released March 31, pushed Roth's trilogy, which sat in series order, to the #2, #3, and #4 slots.
John Green's The Fault in Our Stars fell one spot to #5, with NYPD Red 2, by James Patterson & Marshall Karp, hanging on at #6. New releases I've Got You Under My Skin by Mary Higgins Clark and Bad for You by Abbi Glines hit #9 and #10, respectively.
