What separates Jordan's story from others like it, is the brutal honesty. Leonardo DiCaprio Raw and frequently hilarious. The New York Times Reads like a cross between Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities and Scorsese's Goodfellas ... Laugh-out-loud funny.

Billion-dollar deals and jail for fraud ... the outrageous memoirs of the real Gordon Gekko. The Daily Mail This book reads like The Financial World presented by Ozzy Osbourne ... One reads a book like this for tales of excess, and Belfort certainly delivers, to the point where you long for a night in with Dad's Army and something eggy on a plate. The Mail on Sunday Gleefully crass and terribly sad [but] you actually feel for the guy. Rolling Stone 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.

[about a] vast amount of sex, drugs and risky physical behavior Belfort managed to survive. Publishers Weekly For those not completely familiar with Wall Street, this is an important read. Think of it as a tour of the sort of underbelly of the financial market scene, the dark side of which, in some form, is always out there. For those more experienced, this can be, plain and simple, a fun read. TheStreet.com
