The Narrator is AWESOME, like Ray Liotta, he uses the same accent and intonation as Ray does in the movie .... the Narrator is crucial in an audiobook
Sounds just like Ray. Perfect.
That has to be Ray Liotta
@@leezebede4469 I thought so the first time I heard him.
The donnie brasco one is also good
@DjowZDjowZ-de8xd the audio book? That one is read by Joseph Pistone, aka Donnie Brassco.
Now go home and get your audiobook!
Nice!
You mother keep him there keep him listening

goodfellas and casino are probably the best wise guys movies ever made
How about Godfather and La Haine?
No probably about it
Donnie brasco and the original Gotti movie are 2 of the most realistic.
No shit
The Godfather Trilogy is magnificent--yes, even Godfather III: the texture of the film, the palette, the tragic intimations of "destiny" and familial impositions and myriad other realities inherent that stratum of culture. Kudos to Sophia Coppola who heeded Virgil's counsel to Dante, " lascia dir le genti;" .
I like this narrator, he speaks one way and then when he’s quoting Henry he speaks another way.
One dog goes this way, and one dog goes that way

One day, some neighborhood kids carried my mother's audio book all the way home. You know why?……. It was out of respect.
The perfect comment….
It was out of fear in fact. Bronx Tale explains that.
Superb 😂

I’ve read this book three times and seen the movie a dozen times as well, but I’m listening to this like likes it’s the first time. Thank you…
I like this one. One speaker goes one way, the other speaker goes the other.
It's crazy how almost exactly the movie follows the book
Wow its crazy how the movie based on the book follows the book
@@CreamedCorn2002 lots of movies are based on books but don't follow them like goodfellas follows this book
Its nice to see they stayed loyal to the original for a change. Ive never understood why most movie adaptations change irrelevant details or the entire plot.
I only listen to this audiobook whilst wearing my lucky hat.
You're a schnook if you don't like listening to this audiobook! It's great, yeah yeah, it's great!
For $7,000 I'll listen to your audiobook!
I know Pesci gets all the credit, as he should, but Paulie scared me the most, and Paul Sorvino was supposed to be one of the sweetest, nicest guys you could ever meet.
His explosive violent tendencies weren't included in the film, and I still don't know if it would have been detrimental to the portrayal of the character to show it. All we got were those icy dead-eyed looks when someone said something he didn't like. Kinda wish the film would have alluded to his violent side just a bit.
The dude that whacks Tommy too. Very scary. Cold as ice
@@vinnyksterand that was that
He was sleeping with Rays wife.
It was those dead eyes. Paul Sorvino did a great job as Varrio.
R.I.P RAY 🙏✌💙
👍👍
AND PAUL SORVINO AKA UNCLE PAULIE
So happy i found this. I never knew Goodfellas was a book called Wiseguy. I love hitting the bong then listening to this. Thanks
And a fantastic read, far better than the film as most books are 📚
Snap
Wait pass that bong bro
bada-bing bada bong
Inhaaaaaaaale…exhaaaaaaaale. I just got an ounce in the mail.
They left a lot of crazy stuff out of the movie. The level of detail is crazy
This is brilliant! They should make a film about this
They have, its called goodfellas!

Before I listen to this, I have to go get my shine box.
DONT LISTEN WHILE SLEEP DUE TO HIGH FREQUENT ADS!
Time to grow up and buy premium ?
@@PopPo-zh9up lol good point but if you get a habit of that I promise after a few years you’ll end up looking for solutions on how to get rid of many that you don’t use. It adds up my friend. Maybe at some point in the future you’ll remember this comment
I'm gonna go get da papers, get da papers!
Audio books are .... on the house
A good book reader always make a audiobook great. Thanks 😊
You can picture the movie as he reads such a great listen!
Very true
Listened to the whole thing... It's so crazy how Henry hill just oozed crime. He had 4 different things going on while he was in prison and immediately started trafficking large quantities of substances on top of other things the minute he got out. Might be the greatest mob book ever.
Make that coffee to go.
Thanks for this I always wanted to hear it. Now go home and get your shinebox
Thanks capo regime of audiobooks 👍🇬🇧
Just finished listening, thank you for uploading Wise Guy absolutely brilliant
Great audiobook thanks
Love this…thank you. Great intros, narrator & voices ♥️♥️♥️
This is one hell of a treat!
A stone cold classic
Love all the descriptions of the places and people.
This is one of the best audio books I have ever heard. It is absolute perfection. I started to listen and ended up listening non stop. Could not "put it down". Great job!
Is anyone else hearing the different songs from the movie in their heads? Atlantis when Tommy wacked billy batts? Or the piano part from Layla? Etc
Thank you for doing this!!!
Thank you for posting this, along with the forward by the film director. It s better than watching the film.
I think so too.😎
This is excellent. I really felt like rewatching the movie but couldn't find it on any streaming service except thieving Amazon, where you need to pay a fee on top of your subscription to watch the damn thing. This is even better because the reader's voice is wonderfully calming and it lulled me off to sleep, a blessing while I am sick. Thank you so much for uploading this.

F**K the greedy streaming companies and corporations. They're thieves on a massive scale. They make the Mafia look like pickpockets or people who steal chocolate bars from supermarkets.
Every chance you get, take from the big corporations. Steal from them. It's not only your right, it's your obligation. It's your duty. Always pirate. Always steal. Because if you don't, these greedy companies will continue to charge you more and more money.
Do you remember when Netflix started ? Oh, you'd have access to all these movies for a short amount of money.
Then every single company started a streaming service and all of a sudden, Seinfeld isn't on Netflix it's on Stan, and then it's not on Stan it's on something else. And you have to pay 14 streaming services and 290 bucks a month, to watch the 4 or 5 shows or movies you want to watch. And for sports ? For sports it's even worse.
So yes, don't let these greedy thieves steal even more of your hard earned money. Take it back from them.
We work hard and we pay taxes NOT so Wall Street billionaires can buy new yachts and houses in Fort Lauderdale or Palm Springs.
The best thing of being in a team like this, it's that you earn not like the others.
It's the excitement and the unusual challenges. With rules out of the ordinary, without having to do a job you hate, without being forced to compromise with stupid bosses or customers.
It feels like you play with fire 24/7. Only nerves from steel and a strong mind to deal with fears can help you do this.
No alcohol or other drugs, no gambling, no bad food. No girlfriends.
A man at his forties, with a ruined life had a chance to be the best of him self inside this circles, accepting all the outcomes and keeping a low profile. Just enough to make him self be in the South East Pacific for the rest of the days...
A few only are really able to avoid the basic mistakes of this job and to know when to stop.
The modern social norms, the tobacco, booze, gamble and b.s. food companies are the real mafia.
I must have listened to this at least 10 times.
Same here
That’s nuts 😂 how many times you seen the movie?
@@tyronebiggums3853 about 40 times

Thank you so much. I loved this audiobook so much that it has kept me with rapt attention throughout. Of course, I've seen the movie, but the book was also great fun, and a lovely antidote to tough things in life. Thank you!
Maybe nobody got up there to tell you Billy..I don’t play commercials no more

I’m glad I watched this movie not so long ago, helps to visualize the characters, like Henry and Tommy.
Thanks so much 😍

Well this is one place where Phil ain't moaning about his 20 years in the can and eating grilled cheese of the radiator
And he won't be ramming a Discman up anyone's box either.

The changes from Henry talking and the narrator speaking are not noted as they should be
Pretty fascinating.
Precursors, of course, being ‘On The Waterfront’ & ‘The Godfather’ - for which Marlon Brando won two Oscars!!
Muarys wigs dont fall off

$100 in 1956 = $1000 today. i think hill's been telling porkies...
No, not Hill? You destroyed the man's reputation...
I still cant believe peter varrio got around like he did.
Such a great book
Love it
Wow…what a read and way more interesting than the film but they definitely intersect one another
Love this. Underboss by Gravano I think rules supreme. It has so many great lines and the narrator is spot on "he died with honour, he died with respect, he died cosa nostra", "this is how I knew he was real man's man" chin don everybody
Great book by Sammy although "mafia prince" by Phil Leonetti is probably the best mob book in my opinion. Check it out, you'll enjoy it for sure
Murder machine .
Murder machine for me
NAH! PETER MAAS TERRIBLE SCRIBE, SAME THING WITH VALACHI AND SERPICO.
