Yellow Cab

Who knew getting a license to drive a taxi in New York could be this difficult and drawn out! 

The art in this graphic novel (well, actually not a novel, more of a memoir in graphic form) is top notch, with expressive faces and great storytelling. I found the passenger stories much more interesting than the tedious process he went through to get his license. 

For the general reader, the passenger stories rather than the application for license side would be more interesting as it shows a slice of life in the city. I can't help but think that the story from a woman's perspective would have been much more engrossing - something he originally mooted. For someone aspiring to become a taxi driver in the Big Apple, this maybe essential reading with lots of entertainment thrown in.

Content: Language is surprisingly quite clean except for some off-colour jokes and stories in the speech.
