About this listen
New York Times Best Seller
Now a major motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
By day he made thousands of dollars a minute. By night he spent it as fast as he could. From the binge that sank a 170-foot motor yacht and ran up a $700,000 hotel tab, to the wife and kids waiting at home and the fast-talking, hard-partying young stockbrokers who called him king, here, in Jordan Belfort's own words, is the story of the ill-fated genius they called the Wolf of Wall Street. In the 1990s, Belfort became one of the most infamous kingpins in American finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper who led his merry mob on a wild ride out of Wall Street and into a massive office on Long Island. It's an extraordinary story of greed, power, and excess no one could invent: the tale of an ordinary guy who went from hustling Italian ices to making hundreds of millions - until it all came crashing down.
Praise for The Wolf of Wall Street
“Raw and frequently hilarious.” (The New York Times)
“A rollicking tale of [Jordan Belfort’s] rise to riches as head of the infamous boiler room Stratton Oakmont...proof that there are indeed second acts in American lives.” (Forbes)
“A cross between Tom Wolfe’s The Bonfire of the Vanities and Scorsese’s GoodFellas... Belfort has the Midas touch.” (The Sunday Times [London])
“Entertaining as pulp fiction, real as a federal indictment...a hell of a read.” (Kirkus Reviews)

If you love the movie, then you'll love this book even more
First off let me start by saying that the performance of this book was phenomenal. The narrator read this book with such enthusiasm that you would think it was Jordan Belfort himself. The story is what we know from the movie. It is actually a lot more insane and somewhat different than what we saw. You definitely don't need to see the movie to enjoy this book. I can't stress enough how good the narration was. Definitely one of the best bios I've heard in a while.

Watch the movie instead of listening this.
if you want to hear a grown man mocking the people around him making stupid impersonations then go ahead and buy this crap.

Found some of it grating
There are two issues with this book. Firstly, the narration is okay for the men in the book, but absolutely horrible for the women. Every time the narrator does "the dutchess of Bay Ridge," I wanted to gouge my eyes out.
The second issue is the descent into a drug-fuelled downward spiral. The last third or so of the book is hardly at all about Wall Street, but rather about how many quaaludes he would consume, and how many grams of cocaine he would take to balance it. Some of his claims of drug consumption seem a little hard to believe without a donor liver involved. It does appear, however, the movie is a pretty close reflection of the book, at least its first two-thirds. The book did not get much into his penny stock work, however.
I love audiobooks, but this is one of the few I've gone through where I had to push myself to get through it, and found I did not enjoy the experience.

Readers female voice is unlistenable
it is hard to imagine this book going through all the stages of production without objection to how poorly the female characters are voiced. They are loud, shrill and completely remove you from the story. You may have to ride the volume button on any chapter with a female character in it. Awful performance. Eric Meyers is ruining the story. The entire story is about 2x longer than it should be.
