Michael Scott Novilla is a party animal--not just the kind of animal that goes on a rampage wearing a party hat, wallows in the booze, and drops intoxicated at 5 am. No. He is the leader of the pack, and the leader of the pack determines the efficiency of the herd. It’s 5 AM Go Home is all the guidance you need in organizing your special event--parties, weddings, anniversaries, and corporate milestones. As the founder of NOVA 535, a world-class venue for events, he understands how people utilize space as a venue for exercising interpersonal skills. As a globetrotting entrepreneur, he has been to places and has seen a variety of special events that have given him the vision to strike a balance between purpose and celebration. This book will walk you through page after page on the rudiments of planning and hosting, choosing a venue, people to invite, and reflecting without regret in the aftermath.

It’s 5 AM Go Home sets the bar when it comes to a guide on event planning. Unlike other event planning books, it will not hook your attention with full-page photographs of lavish parties and Dionysian banquets with blurbs and captions of inadequate information. Rather, Mr. Novilla goes for quality. He writes a first-person, experience-based primer on keeping your sanity intact when organizing your event and giving your guests an unforgettable, authentic experience. While reading this guide will not make your event perfect, it does guarantee to help you learn readiness for any eventuality, and by planning with attention to detail, you can relax and see everything run smoothly.

Part memoir, part instruction manual, part advertising content, Michael Scott Novilla’s It's 5 AM Go Home is a book to charm readers who enjoy contemporary North American middle-class life, particularly in its celebration of salient moments. From the well-written pages emerges a highly engaging picture of a man from the mid-west coast of Florida, an entrepreneur and traveler, whose experiences go somewhat beyond the ordinary, although the details of his doings are never over-exposed. The purpose of the book is the revelation of a personal philosophy which the author has constructed, and which he currently exercises in his occupation as a successful and widely known event host. Perhaps the philosophy could be taken as a manifesto of a hedonistically inclined person, were it not for the constant presence of the theme of hard work and application which has influenced Novilla’s life from childhood.

Supporting characters spring into immediate life through brief sketches and vignettes, taking transient but vivid place in a text which is presented throughout in a fast-moving, attractive and idiomatic style. The author sets the entrepreneur as a desirable social model, providing “a new operating system for humanity”, and describes the work of an event organizer in considerable and fascinating detail, based on what happens in his own establishment. It's 5 AM Go Home by Michael Scott Novilla is a whimsical and amusing book which, while providing an easy and enjoyable reading experience, also presents material which may generate reflection about our contemporary culture, and strongly supporting the idea that getting together in organized and vigorous enjoyment is not a bad thing for humans to do.
