Wiseguy

De: Nicholas Pileggi, Corey Brill, Hillary Huber, Martin Scorsese - introduction

Narrado por: Ari Fliakos

INCLUDES AN INTRODUCTION WRITTEN AND READ BY MARTIN SCORSESE!

Nicholas Pileggi’s vivid, unvarnished, journalistic chronicle of the life of Henry Hill—the working-class Brooklyn kid who knew from age twelve that “to be a wiseguy was to own the world,” who grew up to live the highs and lows of the mafia gangster’s life—has been hailed as “the best book ever written on organized crime” (Cosmopolitan).

This is the true-crime bestseller that was the basis for Martin Scorsese’s film masterpiece GoodFellas, which brought to life the violence, the excess, the families, the wives and girlfriends, the drugs, the payoffs, the paybacks, the jail time, and the Feds…with Henry Hill’s crackling narration drawn straight out of Wiseguy and overseeing all the unforgettable action. “Nonstop...absolutely engrossing” (The New York Times Book Review).

Read it and experience the secret life inside the mob—from one who’s lived it.

GREAT LISTEN!

THE STORY, THE CHARACTERS, AND ENEN THE READER'S VOICE FORM A TRIPOD OF EXCELLENCE!

The Wisest of Guys

This is probably one of a very small handful of choice books that are unquestionably, and irrevocably neither better or worse than their film adaptations. it's a very rare and unique situation where the right people meet, at the right place, at the right time and actually work together so intently that the writing material is perfectly complimented by the filming and vise versa.

Truly riveting and impossible to put down.

Fantastic read!!! Awesome!!!
