Genre: Humor/Memoir
Description:
“She's sitting on a secret. With thousands of Uber and Lyft rides
under her belt, Uber Diva offers a bird’s eye view of what it’s really like to
work as a rideshare driver. She also instructs passengers on how to avoid
getting spanked with a 1 Star rating. Meet the freaks, learn the equipment, and
see how this diva survived when a drunk driver T-Boned her car. Based on true
rideshare experiences in the San Francisco Bay Area.
"Uber Diva" includes educational chapters answering these
burning questions:
What kind of insurance is needed as an Uber driver?
What equipment will be necessary before drivers start driving?
How is Uber different than driving for Lyft?
What’s the etiquette for passengers?
What about driver and passenger safety?
This book is the author's personal opinion and does not necessarily
reflect the views of the companies mentioned in the book including Uber, Lyft,
Google, Apple or Twitter.”
Author:
“Wit and humorist, Charles St. Anthony, graduated from Columbia
University with a degree in East Asian Studies. He lived in Japan for 12 years
and has released several well-received memoirs including San Francisco Daddy and Uber
Diva. He now works and resides in Los Angeles.”
Appraisal:
Even if you’re one of those who have never used Uber, Lyft, or any of
the other rideshare services now operating in many cities, you’ve surely heard
of them and, if you’re curious about such things like I am, have probably
wondered about how they work. This book will clue you in on the basics so
you’ll have a better idea of what to expect if you decide to become a passenger
or a good idea of the potential issues for drivers.
All of that’s good, but not what will appeal to most readers. For most
of you the humor and even adventure (who knows what the author is going to find
when the next rider hops in the car) is what you’ll enjoy. The author does a
great job in this area, picking the rides and experiences that would amuse and
entertain and telling the tales in a way that keeps the reader eager for more.
