Henry Hill is a snitch.

This book would have been better if I hadn't watch GoodFellas on an (almost) daily basis for 3 years. It's exactly like the movie. I suggest this book for those who love Goodfellas and those who just love true crime and mafia books.

If you have ever watched the move, Goodfellas, then you need to read this book and On the Run A Mafia Childhood. The move is based on the book Wiseguy but the books both tell the life of Henry Hill. The children go into more detail about what life was like for them. Both are good books.
A great, detailed look at life as a worker bee in organized crime. Really interesting to get Henry Hill's perspective. A quick, engrossing read.
The New York Times bestseller and a basis for the Hit Film GOODFELLA'S.
I loved this book! A page turner!
