This is a re-release of a book from 2004. It is written by two of the children of Henry Hill who if anyone has seen the movie “Goodfellas” was taken from the book “Wiseguy”. Even after the movie after he ratted out the people he worked for and had gone into the witness protection program he still screwed that up for his family. With all of his drinking and mostly drugs his family was back on the run again because of him and the government was not going to protect him or the family they got what they needed and wanted. 
  Here you really get to see the not so glitter life but the family dysfunctional which is more than some of some other families. You feel for the two of them for they had no control over the situation and their father did not care. Really a good book especially if you know about or read the other book. Worth the read.

Give me a memoir or autobiography. I love them anytime. And if it's about a true crime then more intriguing.
A Great read. Good and engrossing story. 

Note: I received a free e-copy of the book via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. Special thanks to the author for giving me a chance to read it.

This real life account of childhood to a Mafia dad is very good indeed. Firstly, it is extremely well written and obviously very well edited which is always a plus! And though its subject is not exactly new (Mafia dad about as suited to fatherhood as a roaming rabbit, letting family down for his own selfish pursuits) it does really give an insight on what kids have to live through when they are faced with irresponsible and selfish parents. I particularly liked the fact that one of the kids obviously felt much softer feelings towards their dad and all in all I would recommend this. An easy read that goes deeper than its text

Originally published in September 2004.   Now published again with Random House UK 13 years later.  The story of Henry Hill's wife and kids after Goodfellas.  They went into Witness Protection but needed someone to protect them from the craziness of Henry and his shenanigans and his chronic drinking, which only got worse.  The tensions became extremely amped up while Henry sat around waiting to rat out his former friends, leading to security breaches.  A crazy story, told by turns from each of the children in the family.  A must read for mob book readers. This is the rest of the story, in all its volatile detail told by those who were affected most.  I was given an ARC by NetGalley for an honest review. Thanks for reading.
