Ghostbusters
ByPublisher Description
The official novelization for a new generation of fans, based on the movie starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones.
After Dr. Erin Gilbert is disgraced at a job interview for her belief in ghosts, she is roped into investigating a haunting by her former colleague, Abby Yates and Abby’s new co-worker, Jillian Holtzmann. The three scientists soon discover that some specters do far more than go bump in the night.
MTA employee, Patty Tolan, finds that New York City’s subway tunnels are becoming a hive of ghostly apparitions. She calls on Erin, Abbey, and Jillian to investigate, revealing that paranormal activity across New York City is swiftly becoming a disaster of near-biblical proportions
Together, these four would-be paranormal investigators are determined to find out what’s going on, save their city, and maybe make a profit while they’re at it. The team must stop a mysterious evil known only as Rowan from destroying the barrier between this life and the next and turning Manhattan into a literal hellscape.

“At first I was a little disappointed because I thought this would be a new story featuring the new all-female Ghostbusters, but it was the movie in written form. Then I read the first chapter and was pleasantly surprised. The book gets to delve into these characters more which helps to shed more of a light as to why they do particular things in the movie. I loved reading about Garret, he was only in the first chapter but it was cool to really see it all happening through his eyes. Similarly, actually hearing the full "Ghost Girl" account and Erin's trials with it made me understand her trauma more then I did in the movie. I liked hearing about her friendship with Abby and how it unraveled, so many details that just were not available in the movie. Patty came across much more well versed in historical facts as well, and I felt she really added to the team more. And to have the dean get his come up-ance was so satisfying. The story flowed effortlessly and the character development was fantastic. My only critique was that, because I saw the movie, I knew what to expect for the most part. I enjoyed reading about some badass ladies busting some ghosts, and I always enjoy stories that focus on female friendships instead of constantly trying to keep them apart.”

“A solid novelization, but it felt rushed at the end.”

“I am probably one of the guilty ones of saying snotty things about the movie even before production began. It was not because of the role given to women but because the movie was going to be a reboot and honestly I hate reboots. Still I thought what harm would it do if I read the novel first?
I am glad I did. If the movie is anything like this book, then I will gladly see it. I absolutely loved it. The humor was fresh and funny and the little back story and tidbits were really wonderfully. I think I may even prefer the novel over the movie itself but then again movie novelations always gave a bit more information behind a characters motives or told you things that in the movie you did not get to see or know.
I think if you give this book a chance, your opinion of the movie might change as mine has. I do plan on seeing the movie soon and I hope many of you will give it a chance and do the same.”

“Safe to say that if you loved the movie like me you will enjoy this too! They put in some extra back story too, that was very fun!”
