Hi all,
It's been some time. I moved, then I wasn't motivated to read, and I also couldn't find the books I was reading before I moved. But I finally found them and finally finished one! Here is a review of Ghosts From Our Past: Both Literally & Figuratively: The Study of the Paranormal by Erin Gilbert & Abby Yates, with Andrew Shaffer. I received this from Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review.
If you aren't already aware, Ghosts From Our Past is a movie companion novel for the newest Ghostbusters movie that came out in 2016. I finished this book, then I watched the movie. It was kind of fun to have read the book because it is the book that is referenced in the movie. However, I still did not like it.
I know that it was written to reflect how young and dumb Erin and Abby were, which made a lot more sense when watching the movie. It is supposed to show how immature and inexperienced they were when they originally wrote the book. The version that we are reading, though, is supposed to be the "revised edition," but it still reflects an immaturity that I found difficult to read.
It was fun in spots and interesting here and there. However, it became a bit of a chore to read, especially toward the end. I was so excited to read it because I've been a fan of Ghostbusters since I was really little. I liked the movie, but the book was just meh. Overall, I would give this book 2 out of 5 stars.
