I was so excited to finally read this. Honestly, it ended up being a disappointment. Turns out Henry Hill is just not very interesting as far as organized crime figures go. I'm a huge fan of the film and Ray Liotta made Henry Hill way cooler than he actually is. The real Henry Hill wasn't very smart. He was a woman beater and a coke head! I gave this 3 stars because I did learn a few things that aren't talked about in the film. I'm definitely obsessed with the subject of the American Mafia and organized crime. This book is considerably weaker than most of the other books I've read on the subject. This is one of those rare occasions where I'd go with the film over the book!
