Some parts pulled from an earlier draft of the screenplay that I've read about. Which is fine.

The lack of understanding of the characters was not, though. Ridiculous, terrible backstories tacked on.

And every joke was mangled.

Ghostbusters (The Original Movie Novelisations Omnibus) Richard Mueller, Ed Naha, narrated by Johnny Heller (audio)

Well read, with a hint at some voices of the characters in the films. Fleshes out the character’s thoughts, though not hugely. Unnecessary if one has seen the films, but I still found them enjoyable as I could easily picture the scenes in my mind.

Back in the day when we didn't have access to Videos, DVDs, and/or streaming, tie-in novels were the next best thing to rewatching a film. Sometimes, the novel would actually add to the plot (or keep in stuff cut from the movie due time constraints or what-have-you), sometimes it was a word-for-word plod of the movie, depending on the author and their writing style/competence.

The first book, written by Richard Mueller, which uses quotes to its advantage at the beginning of chapters, follows the first movie fairly closely, with a few exceptions that make only minimal changes to the overall plot. It's a competent rendering of the movie and though I reread the book more than once in the 80s, I found myself wishing it moved just a tad faster here in 2020.

Book 2, written by Ed Naha is one of those weird, wonderful, rare things that happen, where the book takes a somewhat lackluster movie and improves on it. He's also a better writer than Mueller, in my humble opinion. This book is exactly as I remember it, enjoyable.

Overall, 3.5 stars
