Customer Reviews

A non typical hero.

One of the best books I have read in a while. Very exciting. Although he did take my money, I would rather he have it than someone else. Very crazy awesome man. Love you Jordan.

2nd Round KO

The first book was good even thou it put me to sleep after reading about getting high thirty times. This book was way better than the first one. I could actually follow it without getting confused and the story is a lot more juicy. I love it. Would read it again anytime.

excellent

This book was not as good as the first, the wolf of wall street, howeer it was great

A page turner

It's been a long time since I read a book from cover to cover in one sitting. Belfort's writing style is laugh out loud entertaining. He shows his frailties and describes others with extreme candor. And the book's subject matter is extremely relevant today. Belfort may just be a blip compared to today's crooks( although he did it with more panache - and with more self destructive tendencies), but his book explains very well the mind set of greed, excess and entitlement on Wall Street.

Funny & Tragic

laughed the whole time i was reading this and could not put it down. belfort is self-deprecatingly hysterical. also some amazing insight into wall street schemes and scams. crazy thing is all the wild stories are true. i also like watching the author on CNN talk about the current scandals, he explains it so you can understand it. a must read!
