At this point, whenever I see a novel by Golden November, I pick it up without even reading the blurb. Golden November has become one of my all-time favorite authors, and there is a reason for that. His stories are complete, concise, and contagiously fun to read.

Golden November novels are described as a book that reads in the same way a television show or a movie would be with the volume off and the subtitles on, and that's probably the most perfect way to explain how November's books work.

The story of G, JBT, and the gang continues in this comedy-drama that will keep you entertained until the end.Simple, humorous, and incredibly entertaining, every novel by Golden November is fun to read, but this one is extra special. I love how each character gets a story to tell, but it is always G and JBT who tie everything together in the end. While we do have the usual characters in the story, I love how each time Golden November allows a different character to come forward and shine. As always, the dialogues are fantastic,. This unhurried, filtered, fast-paced, and unique way of storytelling is remarkable.

For readers unfamiliar with November's style of writing, it is done in a format similar to a screenplay.The dialogue only narrative to be acted out as opposed to simply being read. Family inviting friends to a music award ceremony kicks off the story. This is not a prestigious ceremony but hilarious nonetheless and readers are given song lyrics to sing along. The best part of November's writing style comes from sarcastic, deadpan humor. This is really brought to life when the story is being acted out and it is really, really hard to keep a straight face when reading
:-What's the crunchy stuff inside the sandwich?
- It's cucumbers, do you like it, Fred?
-His name is Charlie!
The crew zig-zag from one near-catastrophe to the next in good detail and alternating lines are what a reader is working with...but it does work. Golden November hands out another great time to be had by alll. Recommended.

The setting is Milestoneville and the development of Channel 1994. Opening with JBT and G jumping from an airplane. The duo head to Channel 1994’s Award Show. The story then transitions to pre-show interviews by Amy. JT and Pineapple are both rival contestants for the best music award. Then a third transition is to the Award Show where the host seems to have forgotten his manners. He insults Click Clack and his family on stage. Then he turns to the crowd and announces that everyone was the winner of the Worst Music Award. The remainder of the book features a cast of colorful characters and the rise of Channel 1994’s popularity.
Meanwhile, JBT and G are on the hunt for a book that seems to be desired by many.The conversations were like reading the subtitles of a movie in a foreign language. The names of every character didn’t seem to be the focal point that Golden November wished me to follow. At the beginning of the book, I read the introduction that this is a book to act out rather than to read. Once I did, I found it was easy to understand. My favorite moment came from The Host Of Channel 1994’s Award Show. Even though he was fired for making fun of various important people, the jokes were not vulgar, and the audience found them funny. The novel hosts numerous themes ranging from suspense to comedy and drama. I think that the book could be converted on-screen as a soap opera. Anyone who likes to read scripts or desires to be a screenwriter would enjoy this book.

Varrius: No Plot by author Golden November begins with Varrius checking into a hotel where he waits for his team to arrive. A client hired Varrius to track down a con man. The story then begins to unravel as we get a glance into Varius’s personal life. A lot is going on in this story with multiple subplots. I am familiar with the author's other book series and expected the novel to be written in a screenplay format with photographs that set the scene. The only way to read this book is as the first page suggests you must act out the book. As the pages turn, you suddenly find yourself in the story. The book does not have long-winded narrations describing the setting or what's happening. The reader must adjust to the author's writing style and enjoy the format for what it is. Instantly you vicariously are transported into the story. This novel has lots of action, laugh-out-loud moments, and intriguing characters who become familiar quickly. I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. One of the fun and entertaining things about reading Golden November books, and is the case with this novel, the stories are unpredictable and always thrilling to read.
