The premise of the book is great, and I love short stories. I would love to read this book soon. The cover is a bit misleading, after seeing the cover, I thought it will be a gothic mystery but that's not the case here.

“Mustache Rydes” by Steven A. Yagyagan is a recount of the author’s experiences as a Rideshare driver since 2013. Yagyagan started his career in corporate America but after working in a white-collar job he decided to become a Rideshare driver. He discusses some of his craziest experiences where riders offered him sexual options or a threesome but he declined these offers or the fun escapades in the LGQBT+ community. This is one crazy book that I look forward to reading. He welcomed new drivers and mentored them because there was plenty of business available and he enjoyed his job. The book is well-written and the official review was excellent.

Hi Brian, thank you for the nice review. It is interesting to hear some of the stories that Uber drivers have to share about the people they transport. People will share their interesting stories or views with the drivers just as they do with barbers and bartenders. These experiences shared in a book make for an interesting read indeed!

The cover artwork for this book had me expecting something more like a foreign, B-rated horror movie - a cheesy storyline, flat characters, and subtitles that suffered greatly during translation. Your review reinforces the old adage "never judge a book by its cover," and leaves me excited to dive into what is sure to be an excellent read. Thank you for your amazing review!

By the words I am really excited to read this book. Some times we have to take some bold decisions which may not be healthy for the family but to get self - satisfaction self happiness. As the time passes we will be fine. This book helps how to face difficulty. I love to read this kind of books and I highly recommend this to read.

Mustache Rydes

I am very grateful people like the author of Mustache Rydes simply because of their passion for others. We never know the backstory of why people choose the jobs that they do, so it teaches us to be more understanding and generous towards the drivers.

I was a huge of Taxicab Confessions back in the day. The premise of this book is reminding me of that show. To be a taxi driver, you will, for sure, get interesting riders with unique stories. I cannot wait to get my hands on this book. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

Aw! This would be a story of life, the realities of life, its nakedness and ugliness, it seems to me, of different lives: each one to his own, that is in the pursuit of happiness. The review has zeroed in mostly on sex. I wonder about the other unimaginable aspects of others' lives. Come to think of it, does it include instances when the author's life was in danger when a rider had different intentions? I think many would appreciate this story, enjoy it, be surprised by it, be amused by it, or be horrified perhaps! The review says it is humorous. And perhaps inspirational! Nice!

It captivated my interest how the author boldly took a leap from his corporate career to follow his dream job as a Rideshare driver. Mentoring young drivers and not thinking of them as competition is a good trait. Congrats would love to read this true story.

Thank you for sharing such an enthusiastic and detailed review of "Mustache Rydes" by Steven A. Yagyagan!

It's refreshing to hear how the author transitioned from the corporate world to a more fulfilling path and embraced the unpredictable yet fascinating experiences of driving. Your appreciation for Boysan's professionalism and his ability to maintain composure in various situations speaks volumes about his character.

Mustache Rydes by Steven Yagyagan is a book of short stories based on true events from the author's journey as a Rideshare driver. Your review was well-written and shared details of what to expect. The sample pages described how and why the author quit his white-collar job against his family's wishes. It sounds like an interesting and funny compilation of experiences that will serve as a good read for many. Congratulations on the BOTD!

Much appreciation for the great review. Cab drivers have tons of stories to tell of the clients they ferry around and about. It would make for a lively and more reading experience on these stories. It would also be great to learn how Boysan adapted to life after leaving the corporate world.
