LitPick Review
Opinion:
Overall, I loved reading this book. Though it is a non-fiction book, the stories told in the book were very interesting. I found that I often became immersed in the stories, specifically the ones surrounding taxi drivers who had immigrated to the US from other countries such as East Africa and India. I loved the author's style of writing as I didn't feel overwhelmed with the amount of information presented to me, but rather felt I understood the topics I was reading about. The pacing of the book was great as well; it was quick enough to keep my interest, but I never felt that I was confused about what was happening. Additionally, I felt that I learned a lot from this book, not only about taxis, but also about how the idea of transportation has changed over time from only the rich and royal being able to afford transportation to it becoming a much more common thing. I also really liked the variety of images in the book (both drawing and photographs!) as it was cool to see pictures to match all the new facts I was learning! I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to learn a bit more about the very interesting topic of taxis!
