I Don't Know about the book but if it's half as good as this...

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2009)

Goodfellas is a stylish, well executed film, and probably Martin Scorcese's best film. Based on the real life story of notorious gangster Henry Hill, Goodfellas is up there with other Crime classics such as; The Godfather (1 and 2) and Scarface. Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro give spectacular performances and Henry, Jimmy and Tommy who regularly get involved with drugs, murders, heists and thefts. From what I've heard it sticks very well to the book it was based on (Wiseguy), and if it's half as good as the film it will be definitely worth the read. Goodfellas gets into my personal top 10 list, ranking as my personal favourite crime movie. See it.
