About this listen

For the first time in a beautiful new edition, this omnibus will collect together the original official novelizations of both Ghostbusters 1 and 2.

Relive the classic Ghostbusters stories with the original movie novelizations republished for the first time since 1980s.

When Dr. Peter Venkman and his Columbia University colleagues are kicked out of their prestigious academic posts, they start a private practice as professional ghost-catchers. Although things do not start auspiciously for the three parascientists, their television advertisements finally pay off when beautiful Dana Barrett contracts them. It seems her apartment has become the entryway for ghastly ghosts and goofy ghouls hellbent on terrorizing New York City. Soon, they’re not just going to her rescue, but trying to rid the whole city of the slimy creatures.

After waging a war on slime that cost New York City millions, the Ghostbusters find themselves out of business until an ancient tyrant, preparing a return to the Earthly domain through his portrait at the Manhattan Museum of Modern Art, sets his sights on Dana Barrett’s baby as the new home for his wicked soul!

I'm not a cult follower of the Ghostbusters, but I enjoyed this performance and it gave me a strong sense of nostalgia. The story is obviously ridiculous, the characters are overly extreme and the jokes lamentable. The narrator did a good job of distinguishing dialogue and I enjoyed it overall. Audio equivalent of a page turner, and very undemanding.

Ghostbusters the novel is great and adds quite a bit of backstory to the characters but Ghostbusters II…oh dear. The performance is good but the story is terrible and quite bland compared to the original.

Surprisingly good fun!

if you love Ghostbusters or not this is a good listen. I do thing fans get more out of it because there are weak points in storytelling where gaps are filled with prior knowledge but still a good time easy listening.

Love Ghostbusters

With any book written after the movie, you will always find a few changes. Unfortunately, the side of the narration from JH did seem to confuse me..... NOT THAT HARD! As I found his voices and accents made me think that some cast was of the opposite sex!

Bit of a change.
