Wszystkie wtrącenia odnoszące się do „jedynki” wiele pomagają w przypomnieniu sobie pewnych niuansów, ale nie są wierną kopią fragmentów z poprzedniczki.Ĭo u naszego dobrego znajomego? Niby wszystko po staremu, ale jednak nie do końca. Osoby, które są świeżo po przeczytaniu „Wilka.”, również nie powinny odczuwać znużenia. Autor zręcznie przywołuje wydarzenia z pierwszej części dyptyku. Od razu zaznaczę, że jeśli ktoś ominął „jedynkę”, to i tak nie będzie miał problemów ze zrozumieniem, o co w książce chodzi. I choć euforia towarzysząca mi przy czytaniu pierwszej części „Wilka…” nieco opadła, było całkiem przyjemnie. Kolejne spotkanie z twórczością Belforta! Spotkanie, na które uparcie czekałam, bo – wstyd przyznać - stęskniłam się za gościem.

If you’re in the mood for an interesting true(ish) story and can cope with the fairly extreme profanity that goes with it then I’d definitely urge you to seek out Belfort’s books.

But once again, this is really down the way in which the story is told and how scenes are framed. I truly found myself nearly helpless with laughter at some points, which given the fact that the focus here is on Belford’s arrest, interrogation and subsequent incarceration I think is somewhat remarkable. This book was read by Ray Porter and I have to say he does good a job, if not better, than EM. Here the story picks up from the point he’s been arrested and takes us through subsequent events as he attempts to come to terms with his predicament and, as best he can, manage the impacts on himself and his family. I’m sure that some scenes may have been described in a way designed to maximise the entertainment value but I’ve got no issue with that, it remains one of my favourite autobiographies.Īnd this time around history repeated itself, I spotted this book in an Audible sale and hadn’t even realised that Belfort had penned a follow up to his first book. I absolutely loved the book, mainly because Belford’s voice shone through the story which was told throughout in an irreverent and totally over-the-top style. He lived a lifestyle of unbelievable excess before the authorities eventually caught up with him. For anyone who hasn’t heard this story (via the book, the subsequent film or by picking up on the news reporting of the time) it tells of the true story of Jordan Belfort who set up an investment company and became a multi-millionaire by ripping-off investors. A few years ago I stumbled across an audio version of The Wolf of Wall Street and found it to be wild, funny and brilliantly ‘performed’ by the reader, Eric Meyers.
