GoodFellas (Bloomsbury Film Classics)

Brilliant love the book

Always been a fan of the movie but WOW! This book is an amazing read and now not only one of my favorite movies but favorite books I've ever read, got second hand and the condition was a bit run down but didn't take away from reading it at all.

Having seen the film many years ago I thought I would try the book. I'm glad I did. The book is very informative and almost makes you feel like you are there beside the author, experiencing what it is like being a 'Goodfella'. Henry Hill is the real deal and tells it like it is, honest insightful and eye opening. I couldn't put it down, excellent book to read.

I have always been hooked by mafia books that are written in that clever way where the author is not outright judgemental whilst playing on the contrasts o family, belonging, loyalty versus calculated indifference and business being business. No wonder the film was great as it came from a great book. Loved it and will read it again

I have seen the film many times and love it. I am delighted to say that this book just adds to the experience. It is well written and although the film kept close to the book, reading this just explained things and had more detail so that everything made sense. I highly recommend this book.

Having watched the film read the true account I was pleasantly surprised that the film was a good representation

Great book. Can't believe Henry Hill ratted on Paulir eh. It seems to be that he is the ultimate wise guy.

Not as good as I thought it would beBought it on the pretext of a film being made from the bookMost of the stories are a tad shallowUndoubtedly the guy was a hard working crim, and I got the feeling he could have been quite successful in a more normal life.Outside the influence of the Mob had he been introduced to the right people at the right time.Such is the hand life dishes outImmediately went to the Wikipedia page which actually paints a more interesting storyThe book professes he turned in to a successful business man in a nice little mansionThe truth is he was addicted to crime, drugs and alcohol. Died before his time and continued to the end to live life as a petty thief . Eventually getting kicked out the witness protection programHow he then never got bumped off after that I fail to comprehend .

Facinating story of Henry hill,....one of those unscrupulous gangsters of NY....now that I have read this book, i will watch the film.....of the same name.

This book was so boring .I did not get passed first chapter

Bought this for my husband and he thoroughly enjoyed it.

Entertaining and hard to put down..virtually the screenplay of the movie.

Sehr interessant. Schneller Versand, Mein Sohn ist ganz begeister von dem Buch. Da es ein Taschenbuch ist, kann er es auch überall mit hinnehmen.
