   I've seen Goodfellas probably a dozen times and I only just this weeks read Wiseguy. Even though I knew the movie so well I still thoroughly enjoyed it. One thing I learned is that the film's style of letting multiple people narrate the story was not Scorcese's touch, it was how the book is told.

   Is Wiseguy A good book?

   • It’s impossible to judge. So when I come down on the side of Kubrick, and say that Wiseguy is a good book that got turned into a great film, I can understand if you have a different opinion. But hopefully we can agree that the strengths of the story remain the same from book to film – and it portrays fascinating events.

   Is 'Wiseguy' A good movie?

   • WISEGUY is one of those true crime books that you just simply can’t put down, even if you know the outcome—much the way Goodfellas is a movie you just can’t pause. It’s easy to understand why Scorsese—who’d had no intention of making another mob movie after Mean Streets and Raging Bull —was convinced to bring this tale to the big screen.

   Is 'Wiseguy' based on a true story?

   • Imagine my pleasant surprise when I discovered that the film is overwhelmingly accurate to its source material—the true crime classic WISEGUY by Nicholas Pileggi. To be succinct, reading WISEGUY is a lot like watching Goodfellas. It’s a breathless, white-knuckle tale of racketeering, scams, and murder.

   Is Wiseguy a good show to watch?

   • Wiseguy is worth watching, even though the story lines ran in arcs, each episode is eminently watchable in and of itself. There are some great contemporary crime dramas on TV now, but none with the arc structure that made Wiseguy so compelling. I sure do miss it and I miss Ken Wahl.
