  “An excellent book that serves as a critique of the Egyptian society through the eyes of a particular social class, namely taxi drivers. As the writer says in his introduction, those drivers have even deeper insights than some politicians. Taxi drivers literally "live" on the street and meet all kinds of people, so they have very insightful opinions concerning the problems we suffer from in our Egyptian society. They constitute a very poor social class, so they serve as a representation long-suffering people in Egypt. The language in which this book is presented is the very colloquial, natural and even obscene in some parts used by taxi drivers, so the book is a mirror that reflects much about the Egyptian street and the Egyptian people.”
