Column Epithetical Books Wiseguy

A deeper look into the story of Henry Hill and his life and involvement with the New York City Mafia from the 1950s-90s. The beginning of the book is nearly exactly like its film version (Goodfellas, a classic in my opinion), but if you keep going the story takes new turns not shown in the film, with additional schemes and characters. I enjoyed the different perspectives, with narratives from the writer, Karen (Henry's wife), FBI detectives, and mostly Henry himself. If you have an interest in

I first read this when it came out in the mid 80s. I was 70 or 80 pages into it when Henry Hill first mentioned his niteclub on Queens Boulevard,The Suite. At that point I realized I had worked in Henry's club as a musician in the early 1970s. I remembered Henry (never knew his last name) standing at the end of the bar most nights watching the action and hanging out with his friends. Of course at that point the book grabbed my total interest and I finished it in a few hours. It's arguably the

I waited for this book for a long time. Watched my favorite movie "Goodfellas" based on this book several times. So when I got the hard copy of the book, I could not resist myself finishing it at once. It is As good as the movie. But if someone watches the movie, the book is waste of time in my opinion. The movie is a total honest representation of the book. But my case is different. I love to read about Mafia. :)The book is based on the real life story of a mobster Henry Hill. He used to be a

I enjoyed this but I'm going to say something I rarely or never say - watch the film instead.The best bits of the book are the interviews with Henry Hill, and most of them appear verbatim as a voice over in the movie. As such, the book adds very little to the enjoyment or detail of the film version.There are a couple of extra details but, on the whole, it's probably not worth reading as I'd give the film a clear five stars.(I'm not sure I'm happy with myself for doing a review saying films are

Nicholas Pileggi's non fiction book, 'Wiseguy', is the basis for the film, GoodFellas, directed by Martin Scorsese (1990). It's the true story of Henry Hill, a member of the Lucchese organised crime family in New York. Henry's heyday takes place during the 1960s and 1970s when he works under the protection of mob boss Paul Vario in the Brownsville-East New York section of Brooklyn.Has there ever been a great disparity between a book and a film adaptation?This is not to suggest that 'Wiseguy'

Funny like I'm a clown?

Same old, same old..., over-rated. Or just not as good, maybe, as the movie.
