Al "Gynt" McGynty drives a taxi, the only Checker cab in New York City. It's the life he loves and the Big Apple is where he loves living. Where else could he and Wally, a dog with a nose for trouble, enjoy great pizza, the Mets, jazz, hookers and hoodlums? but a phone call from San Francisco suddenly lands Gynt in an alien West Coast world seeking forgiveness and redemption.
But a phone call from San Francisco changes all that. Gynt finds himself teaching taxi school to Junior, his astrophysicist son-in-law, dealing with the problems of his estranged family, and struggling to adapt to a West Coast world that makes him feel like a man from Mars. On top of that, Gynt has a sudden realization--he's getting old.
Discover how Gynt becomes a regular at the San Francisco police jail, adapts to the high tech age with his sexy assistant Gina, and finds love in a family he abandoned years ago.
"Taxi School" is a curmudgeon's laughable journey to find forgiveness and redemption in a world that can't ignore him.
GoodReads review-
I wasn't sure what to expect with this book but I am glad I read it. It's quite amusing with well-developed characters who are each likeable in their own unique way. It will tug on your heartstrings when you aren't laughing out loud. Of course the best parts may be when you chuckle and Joe your head while also getting a little teary. I'd like to read more from this author whether he continues with the same characters (crossed fingers) or decides to delight us with new ones.
