faricannon 's review for:

Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi
4.0

“We ran everything. We paid the lawyers. We paid the cops. Everybody had their hands out. We walked out laughing. We had the best of everything. In Vegas and Atlantic city somebody always knew someone. People would come over and offer us shows, dinners, suites. And now all that is over, and that’s the hardest part. Today everything is very different. No more action. I have to wait around like everyone else. I’m an average nobody. I get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.” So glad I finally read this, it Solidified Goodfellas as The Movie Of All Time
