![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() At certain points I had to look at the cover to make sure I wasn’t reading the script!Īnyone who knows me knows how much I love the movie Goodfellas - its actually one of my favorite “mob” type movies. It was remarkable to me how closely Scorcese and staff followed the book while making the movie. The movie basically was the book, with a few characters renamed and combined. To say that the movie was “based” on the book is stating it a little lightly. The book chronicles the life of Henry Hill from childhood and his introduction to the Lucchese crime family, to life as a young adult as part of the “crew”, through his turning Federal informant and his eventual enrollment in the Federal Witness Protection program. It took me about 2 days of on and off reading to finish it and I really enjoyed it. The book is Wiseguy, by Nicholas Pileggi. ![]() I remembered that the movie Goodfellas was based on a book, but couldn’t remember the name of the book so we stopped at Barnes and Noble to look around.Īfter an online search in the store, I found it. Last summer while on vacation I was looking for a book to read. ![]()
