Martin Scorsese read it, contacted Pileggi who apparently "had been waiting for this phone call all my life", and between them they wrote the screenplay for the hugely popular 1990 movie.
The narrative switches between Pileggi, Hill, and Hill's wife Karen, all delivered with the smooth action of a well-polished Magnum.
Though Nicholas Pileggi's source book, Wise Guy, gave this screenplay both its voice-over and its final conclusion, the screenplay to GoodFellas is an essential addition to any screenplay library.

 Nicholas Pileggi and Martin Scorcese : Wiseguy and Goodfellas: An article by spike magazine
Pileggi, a seasoned crime journalist, includes a great many aspects which clearly were essential to the cinematic feel.
Pileggi's style is functional and not flattering, although the gold of the material and long quotes of dialogue - Henry's own words, as often occur in the film - make the book very enjoyable.
Pileggi notes that, in the end, Henry Hill was the ultimate 'wiseguy;' an irony of poignant depth.

The career of journalist, author, screenwriter and fledgling producer Nicholas Pileggi gives lie to the adage that "crime does not pay".
Pileggi procured tales of sometimes charismatic miscreants and their dark yet flashy deeds and sold them to the likes of Esquire and Life before entering the movies at a very high level: co-writing GOODFELLAS (1990), the film adaptation of Wiseguy, with lionized director Martin Scorsese.
Pileggi began researching his next project as the GOODFELLAS collaboration waned.
