The continuation of New York Times bestseller The Wolf of Wall Street tells the true story of Jordan Belfor's spectacular flameout and imprisonment for stock fraud. In this astounding account, Wall Street's notorious bad boy--the original million-dollar-a-week stock chopper--leads us through a drama worthy of The Sopranos, from the FBI raid on his estate to the deal he cut to rat out his oldest friends and colleagues to the conscience he eventually found. With his kingdom in ruin, not to mention his marriage, the Wolf faced his greatest challenge yet: how to navigate a gauntlet of judges and lawyers, hold on to his kids and his enraged model wife, and possibly salvage his self-respect. It wasn't going to be easy. In fact, for a man with an unprecedented appetite for excess, it was going to be hell. But the man at the center of one of the most shocking scandals in financial history soon sees the light of what matters most: his sobriety, and his future as a father and a man.
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.

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

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
