Confessions of a New York Taxi Driver is a fun way to get an inside look in what happens on a daily basis in a New York City taxi. You'll be very surprised to read what happens on the backseat of a taxi, and how some people act in a taxi;…mafiosi, hookers, the rich and famous, down and outs, young lovers, old lovers, passengers from every corner of the globe, fare dodgers, a variety of animals, tourists, lifetime New Yorkers, people in a rush and others with no particular place to go. Gene starts every chapter with a brief description of what the chapter is about, and describes what types of (for example)of crazy people you can expect as a taxi driver. The stories where sometimes laugh out loud funnty, and sometimes I could just not believe some things would happen in a taxi. Sometimes I had the feeling though that the author just made the story a bit juicier than real life to make it more fun to read, but it was so entertaining to read that it doesn't matter that much. If you are in for a New York book and want to have a good laugh, this is your book!
