WIAR: The Wolf of Wall Street (NS)
Did anyone else read this? What did you think of it, honestly?
The movie looked like it was going to be really good, and though I never did see the movie, DH bought me the book for Christmas, and I just got around to starting it yesterday.
I'm a little over 50 pages in and while I'm entertained, I'm not sure I can handle another 450 pages of this guy. He's so disgustingly self-important, and just such an asshole. I regret that DH paid money for this book, and I feel like I should read it because of that, but part of me wants to mail it back to Jordan Belfort with a letter explaining what a douche I think he is. But maybe the tone changes? Maybe he really gets screwed in the end and it's all worth it? And why are there so many exclamation points?!

Re: WIAR: The Wolf of Wall Street (NS)
my read shelf:
I picked up a library book the other day that's sitting on my shelf tempting me now, though. If I put down the Wolf, I don't think I'll ever pick it up, though.
It IS entertaining, which is what's killing me. It's a little like that Beer in Hell book in that way, I guess. I hated that guy too, but the book was entertaining. But I also regretted that my husband had paid money for it.
Sugar & Spice
I enjoyed the story. I mean, I disliked the MC, obviously, that's really the point. It was a really wild ride though and I was totally engrossed in the story and the fact that it really happened. It was just insane to me.
I wouldn't say it's the best writing, and I don't really want to comment on the storyline so as not to give spoilers, but it was entertaining to me in a bad kind of way. If that even makes sense.
