Interesting character study
This is not my usual read, but after seeing the movie, I wanted to learn more about this character.
And WHAT a character Jordan Belfort is! He is as addicted to lying as he is to drugs, yet is surprisingly self-aware of his rationalizations and misdeeds. His descriptions of his drug-induced paranoia and other mental states seemed very real.

Is the book sleazy? Yes -- So sleazy that after finishing each chapter, I switched to Abraham Joshua Heschel's "The Sabbath" for ethical relief!

He is not a great writer, but he is a master storyteller. He's funny, too.
Loved  learning about their lives then - well written too.
