I read the novel and LOVED it.

One of the few novels that make an even BETTER movie.

BTW, Henry Hill in the book, and to a lesser degree in the movie makes it look like he's the only one with some kind of "conscience".

Plus he never "admits" to killing anyone.

But he obviously did.

Don't tell me he only drove the cars during these crime sprees.

I completely agree. Hill did horrific things to innocent human beings, especially to those in his own family. If you want to read a good book on the subject you should check out the memoir by his children, A Mafia Childhood.

Reading the stories about what happened to real mob guys, many of them either ended up dead or in prison at an early age. John Gotti died in prison from cancer. Yeah, what a great life. (snicker)
