About this listen
NOW AN AWARD-WINNING MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY MARTIN SCORSESE, STARRING LEONARDO DICAPRIO, MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY AND JONAH HILL.
'What separates Jordan's story from others like it, is the brutal honesty.' - Leonardo DiCaprio
By day he made thousands of dollars a minute. By night he spent it as fast as he could, on drugs, sex, and international globe-trotting. From the binge that sunk a 170-foot motor yacht, crashed a Gulfstream jet, and ran up a $700,000 hotel tab, to the wife and kids who waited for him for at home, and the fast-talking, hard-partying young stockbrokers who called him king and did his bidding, here, in his own inimitable words, is the story of the ill-fated genius they called...
THE WOLF OF WALL STREET
In the 1990s Jordan Belfort, former kingpin of the notorious investment firm Stratton Oakmont, became one of the most infamous names in American finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper who led his merry mob on a wild ride out of the canyons of Wall Street and into a massive office on Long Island. In this astounding and hilarious tell-all autobiography, Belfort narrates a story of greed, power, and excess no one could invent - the story of an ordinary guy who went from hustling Italian ices at sixteen to making hundreds of millions. Until it all came crashing down.
Critic reviews
What made the experience of listening to The Wolf of Wall Street the most enjoyable?
It was a great way to start my drive to work, the narrator was superb and really knew how to bring the story alive. It was loud very loud at points which really woke me from my morning dreamland. And then on the way home it was just a great way to relax as I drove across the M62Who was your favorite character and why?
Jordan was my fav charachter, as well I suppose the book is all about him and his life, so it's him that you understand and relate to the most throughout.What does Eric Meyers bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I think it's the way he reads the dialogue, It just makes the whole experience much more real, much meatier..Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes I laughed a few times throughout the book, A few gasps of I can't believe that came out too.Any additional comments?
I've not watched the film of this book, so can not comment on that, but I personally seriously feel the read of this book is needed.Super listening

If you could sum up The Wolf of Wall Street in three words, what would they be?
High, low and riotousWhat other book might you compare The Wolf of Wall Street to, and why?
I don't think I've ever read a book that compares. He's the Wolf, one of a kind I would thinks!Which scene did you most enjoy?
The tale of deciding to set sail with bad weather on the approach, I don't want to spoil it for those not yet heard this but it would be unbelievable in a fiction novel!Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
This book was at times funny, shocking, upsetting but most of all entertaining. Don't get me wrong - I would not wanted the wolf as a friend let alone an enemy but it is fun to listen to the story of his life with its mega highs and ultra lows. The film is a poor, poor version of this story so I was glad to have heard it first and I think if you are coming to it after watching the film then there is a whole load you have no idea of and will appreciate.Any additional comments?
I loved it!What a riot and so much better than the film

This is a must read for anybody who has watched the film - it really fills in some of the gaps in the storyline of the film.
The audiobook is gripping from the offset and it's one of those rare books whereupon you feel slightly sad when it actually ends as you were enjoying the story so much.
Hilarious yet informing
