This seems like a nice read. Diving from the corporate world into the rideshare business is in itself an out-of-the box idea. I appreciate that the author acted upon his thoughts. One needs to be a thorough professional to handle clients who are drunk. Also, the clients heave a sigh of relief to know that they have not been taken advantage of by their inebriated selves. This book seems fun.

I think it's great that the author wrote this book detailing his escapades as a rideshare driver. I can only imagine the kinds of people he's met! I'll definitely check out this one to read about his experience.

I sampled this book and I only discovered the first of the true and wild stories of Steven a.k.a. Boysan where he gave a lift to gay club Pecks to a group celebrating a birthday. I was also impressed by Steven's character as he reversed an overdraft of a customer on low income so she would not go hungry when he was managing bank branches. All in all, I agree with Brian's review that these are hilarious stories and the book deserves the five stars Brian awarded it in his review.

"Mustache Rydes" by Steven A. Yagyagan presents another angle on how some people make bold choices to live a fulfilling life. It's a way to learn about crazy, wild, true experiences without getting involved.

This is a compelling and fascinating novel. Steven A. Yagyagan shares his life experience, coming from a poor background and how he has chosen to work extra hard to fight for a better life and destiny. This book is undoubtedly worth reading and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Congrats on BOTD!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting memoir of the author's time as a rideshare driver and the unique clients that he drove. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

This sounds exciting: a book that narrates the exciting and wild stories of a taxi driver. Just think about the endless situations that a taxi driver witnesses and experiences in a job that few regard as exciting or fulfilling.

Mustache Rydes is an entertaining book based on actual events. "Boysan" shares his experiences as a rideshare driver. He has such an eclectic group of clients and puts a lot of effort into being a fun driver. I enjoyed the book sample and the positive book review. Well done!

I read this book in one afternoon. It made a strong impression on me! I agree with your review. Yagyagan did an amazing job and made me realize how people can be very... interesting. I think the book strikes a perfect balance between offering laughter-inducing scenes and poignant reflections, creating a narrative that resonates with readers.

Different stories of the people you meet and serve from the perspective of a cab driver is intriguing!! I wonder if their stories converge! To imagine someone leaving their comfortable day job for an unpredictable taxi driver job, is bold..I would love to dwell into what the character goes through to make this choice, tougher because the family doesn't support this decision. Additionally, to mentor other beginners who will become your competition, shows grit and confidence in yourself!! Can't wait to read this book!! Thankyou for the review!!

Definitely not my cup of tea, not only because it sounds a bit too personal to be shared with public without looking bragging, but also because I dislike this format of writing. No offence, but reading about offered sexual favours is not my idea of fun. Congratulations with BOTD, anyway!

I found the author's story both inspiring and amusing. I must also commend his courage to move from a white collar job, to a more humble one, one that he feels suits him. Inspiring read. Congrats on #BOTD

"Mustache Rydes" by Steven A. Yagyagan brings short stories in which the author offers readers his experiences as a Rideshare driver throughout the decade. After years of a corporate career, Steven decided to dedicate himself to the Rideshare business, and that's how this collection of short stories was born.

It is great that this author followed their passion and was brave enough to walk out of the blue collar world for that. However, I don’t think this book’s for me; I wouldn’t care to read about all these sexually colored suggestions the author received from his clients. Thank you for the lovely review!
