When I first began reading this book, I couldn't help but think, "I've already seen all this in the film." After a few chapters though, I was engrossed and satisfied at how much more comprehensive this book was compared to the film. Slightly more accurate too.For those who don't know, this is the book upon which the film masterpiece "Goodfellas" was based. In both, we learn the story behind a low level mobster from his childhood and first encounter with a Luchese family crew, to his eventual arrest and state's evidence producing adult. Henry Hill always wanted to be a gangster, and when he went across the street to get a job at the local cab stand, his new "family" life began.The book goes into quite a bit more detail than the film (common for novels-turned-movies) and sets the record straight on many facts, names, and places that were slightly (or sometimes greatly) altered in the name of better cinema. Yes, at times you will think you are reading the narration from the movie, and I even heard it in Ray Liotta's voice here and there, but if you liked the film, or have any interest in organized crime and its history, this is absolutely mandatory reading.The story behind the giant "Luftansa heist" is completely mind-bending. The tales of how many mobsters avoided "hard time" in prison is really incredible. And of course, there is the moral of the story and the bottom line; once a mobster becomes a possible threat to his own "family," he is to be eliminated - no matter how close a friend or brother.Read this book. It is a great companion to the film, and to the other books on mafia history.
If you have seen the movie you need to read the book. The story of Henry Hill is vividly told in this book. From his start working at the cabstand, his time hustling in the military and his stints in prison. All are told in this story. Many things that you did not get to see in the movie are contained in this book. Good for people that like true stories, or books on the mafia. An intriguing look at a man's daily activities as a member of a mafia crime family including a daring heist that took place and resulted in one of largest thefts in history. You also get a sense of the paranoia that Henry felt close to the end before being captured and ultimately becoming a "rat" against the family he once faithfully served.
I expected to read this book and find it very different from the movie. The surprise here was that the movie was pretty true to the book. Pileggi keeps things moving at a rapid pace an nicely fits in the first hand accounts from Henry and a variety of people involved. Even though I've seen the movie a dozen or so times I still found the book a good read. A note here: I am now reading Henry Hill's book which includes additional details that may or may not have been intentionally left out of Pileggi's book. Henry's version of events comes across as much darker and he is much more remorseful than what appears in this version of his story. If I had to say anything bad it would be that I wish Pileggi had caputured the regret and sadness also experienced by these people. Henry would be the first to say he's not some mythical hero nor were the others and I think that is an important message to convey.
Wise Guy, the nonfiction book on which the amazing film "Goodfellas" was based, sometimes drags but is an overall fascinating look at mid-level life in an organized crime family. Half-Irish, half-Sicilian protagonist Henry Hill, growing up in overcrowded poverty across the street from a Mafia-front cab stand, is enthralled by the life of the gangsters and can't wait to be part of their world. The zeal with which he plans and executes various criminal activities and the nonchalance with which he describes gang world executions is remarkable. He's inside the Mafia but because he's not 100% Sicilian, ever an outsider, and he has a truly amazing memory for details and capacity for observation, but at the same time, a sociopathic disregard for moral considerations. Henry's middle-class Jewish wife is also interviewed extensively,
An absolutely fascinating book showing how a guy on the lower rungs of the ladder had connections that reached up to the top of one of the most powerful families often referred to as the mafia. Henry Hill relates his experiences in a warts and all account so potent and well thought out that many of his observations went directly into the screenplay for Goodfellas. Many details and background information shine so attractively in this narrative that if you loved the film then you will adore this book. Nicholas Pileggi also wrote Casino and Donnie Brasco, two books I intend to read as soon as possible. I heard the film will be re-released in theaters. It would be awesome if there are any additional scenes added (even in a re-release of the DVD). Also, if you loved this movie you should really check out Mean Streets. In many ways Goodfellas is a follow up or maybe like a fully realized bookend to that movie. Both Scorsese and Pileggi have such a great sense of time and place and juicy characters! Additionally there are some related cookbooks by Marty Scorsese and Henry Hill you can find if you're into cooking Italian the right way.
If you liked the movie, you are definitely going to like this book.He wanted to be somebody in a neighborhood that was full of nobody`s. When Henry Hill started to hanging around with the Mob in the 1950`s, the Mob was going through what could be called "its glory days". The mobsters had immense power on the street and making money was easy. When JFK international airport opened up, it became a veritable ATM for the Mob. "Whenever we needed money, we robbed the airport, it was easy"It tells you how Henry came to join the Mob, lived through its glory days and how his life spiraled out control. And finally his betrayal of the Mob following the vicious murder spree following the Lufthansa robbery.You also get to read about guys like Tommy DiSimone and Jimmy "the Gent" Burke.
