When Dr. Peter Venkman and his colleagues are kicked out of their prestigious academic posts, they start a private practice as professional ghost-catchers. At first unsuccessful, their fortunes turn when the skeptical Dana Barrett apartment becomes the entryway for ghastly ghosts and goofy ghouls hellbent on terrorising New York City.

Thoughts

I seem to remember the second Ghostbusters movie so much better than the first, so it was fun to read this novelisation and be reminded of some of the intricacies of the first. It’s a fun read, interesting to get character insight and motivations, inner thoughts etc. They were missing the key quote ‘what did you do Ray’ which I still say pretty much every day, so that was disappointing. But overall a great movie that turns into a good read.

Rating: 3 / 5
