Goodfellas-Wiseguys book rec question

Yes! Another book question! Better than dwelling on current gangsters...
Watched Goodfellas again yesterday-it really is a fine, if disturbing movie.
So, has anyone read Pileggi's Wiseguys? Is it well-written?
Well, then

Yes, the narration in the film is taken from the book. There's a lot more than could be shown in the film.
