 It should have been called "Bigot cab driver" May 14, 2007
By pinate
"The Lady"
Not much to say, and certainly nothing positive. I couldn't even finish it; it would have been a waste of my time. It was just too hard to get past the stereotypical comments, racial slurs, and general name calling. The only thing he seems to value is "himself"!

 Truly an Entertaining, Fun Read and a Glance into a World Few See Aug 28, 2008
By J. Munsey
Nicky Testaforte's book is among the most fun I've read in a long time.
The stories discussing everything from sex, drugs, abundant excess, and more abundant excess are truly facinating and greatly entertaining.
Insight into the world of a limo driver is something that few people ever think about, yet alone are exposed to and it's amazing to read about the people that Nicky has interacted with over his career.
I found the book impossible to put down as each story was so entertaining I had to see what was next. It's an easy read and not for those easily offended. Nicky writes as I imagine he talks and certainly as those he's writing about talk and there is profanity laced throughout the book. Never inappropriate and important to the stories, the language is necessary to fully get the feeling of many of the tales.
Mr. Testaforte has an excellent talent with his writing style. He builds rapport with the reader as I imagine he does his passengers...it immediately sucks the reader into his world.
I highly recommend the book. Read a few of the excerpts here on Amazon and just try not to order it!
I'm hoping for a follow-up.

There was times where i laughed so loud at this book. Funny, insightful and some handy hints. Perfect for a afternoon of stereotypical british rain.
Can't wait to go back to New York now.

Tales of new York Limo-Driver Feb 03, 2009
By Frederick C. Campbell
I really enjoyed reading Nicky Testaforte's book, I was a salesman for 31 years and although I did'nt have near the experiencs Nicky did I can relate to traffic and motel tales. Good book I'll wait for the follow up.
