Customer Reviews

Amazing

Amazing story. Jordan Belfort represents all the excesses and geniality of people that work in Wall Street. He also was able to narrate his story in a very pleasant way. I loved it.

CRAZY

Extremely well written, excellent story. A true story is always better than fiction. LOVE IT

Funny as hell!

First off whoever said that Jordan wrote all the positive reviews makes one think that all the bad reviews may be by the same person also. Sounds like a personal beef because this book makes one laugh at his insane personality. This isn't a Wall Street 101 book, it's about the Wolf and why he called himself the wolf. He's insane and he tells you he is and what he did. All you people wrote bad reviews need to lighten up and should have read something else. I'm 100% convinced that all the bad reviews were written by the same person so don't go by the reviews because most of them have the same writting style. Get the book, funny as hell!

a roller coaster ride of craziness

i thought this book was interested could have gone a bit deeper into the business side but i was thoroughly entertained.

Best book I've read in years!

Absolutely love his style of writing. Belfort says what most of us are thinking but don't have the guts to say. I read the book and listened to the audiobook. The audiobook was the most entertaining one I have every listened to, laughed out loud several times. More importantly though, my 19-year-old son loved this book too, it actually gave us something in common to talk about. We just bought the sequel and fought over who got to read it first. He won of course!
