Ghostbusters by Nancy Holder
My nineteenth book for ljbookbingo is Ghostbusters by Nancy Holder for the Never Judge a Book by it's Movie square found here.
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.~Amazon book description
I love reading movie novelizations because you get so much more background for the characters plus you get to read how they feel during the events of the book/movie. It's like getting a director's cut of your favorite movie along with in-character commentary. Ghostbusters was one of my favorite movies of 2016 and so when I found out they had written a book based on the movie I had to read it.
I really enjoyed it. There are whole chapters devoted to Erin and Abby meeting as little girls and how they form their friendship, how they decided to study the paranormal, and how their friendship eventually fell apart. Also we get a lot more scenes that was not included in the movie but really are awesome to read about in the book. I love the way the Erin, Patty, Holtz, and Abby play off of each other and become a family throughout the course of the book. Overall I enjoyed it. Plus it gave me an excuse to watch the movie again now that I know more about each of the four woman.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed the movie!
