Disclaimer - I had a proof copy so I can only hope it improved with some editing although I'm not sure that could happen without a complete change in author.

It is in fact possible to set a book in the late 90s and not litter every sentence with slurs but someone neglected to tell Munson that. Although, I suspect Munson wouldn't actually care given his apparent disdain for Black History Month and his need to make sure his main character, Addison, lets you know at every turn about his racism, sexism, classism, fatphobia and homophobia.

The book follows a truly despicable teenager along with his side kick - and definitely *not* girlfriend or friend - Digger as they try to figure out who killed their classmate. Neither of them care about killing a dog, an act that was thoroughly avoidable. Addison constantly uses, and defends, holocaust jokes. He wants you to know that he is better than you and everyone else in the world is insufferable and unintelligent.

THE NOVEMBER CRIMINALS is an interesting mixture of mystery/coming-of-age.
Addison Schacht is a pretty good central character, who is certainly going through a LOT at the moment. He embarks on an investigation of his friend's murder.
It's an interesting, mostly-successful mystery. The characters are good, and the writing is likewise quite good. It's an accessible read.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

Really enjoyable read. Good characters and a Good story. Well worth a read. Think others will. Enjoy

So although I normally think that I am quite reasonable when reviewing books, I feel like I need an except to the rule and this is how I feel about the November Criminals. I just don't like this book.

There are lots of bad reviews for the book but after seeing the film trailer, I still wanted to read it but I feel like they are different and I can see why because the plot of the book was just not good. The only reason that I wanted to finish it was that it was short and I wanted to do a review.

I didn't really connect to the characters and really didn't like the way that the characters reacted to each other. There are also holocaust jokes throughout the book and there is a massive paragraph of them and I just don't accept this and am surprised that this was published. I also just didn't like the writing style.
