Customer Reviews

Quick & fun reading

A quick, fun read. His stories say a lot about the human persona and our interactions/reactions with/to each other. We could all be a lot kinder to each other.

THE REAL THING

I've read this book twice and it makes me want to go back to Key West twice as badly. Great color and vivid characters. A good read

Key West

I've been following Michaels' weekly transcripts in the Miami Herald for over a year now.He's got some great stories to share with his readers from that tiny island nation 90 miles from the Cuban coast..Michael makes it seem you're sitting in the back of his pink taxi strolling along Duval Street...You too will have that same feeling..Enjoy..

You'll laugh, you'll cry, your mouth will drop open in shock

Considering we live in Key West, when I go into the book store I rarily if ever look at the 'touristy' books. While standing in line waiting to pay for my daughters new books, there was "Confessions of a Key West Cabby" next to the register. I flipped through it while waiting to be rung up and at the last second threw it in the pile. When I got home I started reading and did not put the book down till I was finished. Mr. Suib managed to introduce me to people and places in Key West that I never knew existed, or that I took for granted every day. Now I have his book in the back seat of my car as I drive around on daily errands I look around for that Pink Cab (and they are EVERYWHERE) with Michael Suib so I can score and autograph. Worth a read, over and over again for visitors, locals and wishful thinkers everywhere.

Thinking about going to Key West.......just for a taxi ride.

This book should be savored over a couple of weeks....... a story a day max. It should be used like a smile machine. When you think you can't find any humor in the daily grind of life, pop it open and consume a couple of minutes of a poet/story teller/taxi drivers take on life.
