GHOSTS (Sampler)

I thought it was fun something to go along with the series, fun facts of different characters and information about the house etc but nothing really that you don't know already (no new information) and not really worth the £16 price tag,

I am a huge fan of Ghosts and whilst eagerly awaiting the final Christmas special, this sampler was a lovely way to get my Button House fix. You can tell the love and effort that has been faithfully put into every page. If you enjoy the TV show (and how could you not?!), this is a great read and it would be the perfect Christmas gift for any Ghosts aficionado.

Only a sampler of the actual text but I love the TV show Ghosts, so had to have a sneaky peak.
This insight into the ghosts and the show looks like such a brilliant book. A must for fans of the show.

I loved this sample and I cannot wait to purchase the book. Would be a great present for a fan of Ghosts.

Great sampler of what is to come in the full book, perfect accompaniment for fans of the show. A lovely insight into the various characters featuring correspondence, their TV preferences and more background stories. Looking forward to the book!

If you love the TV show then you'll love this book.
I read the sampler in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed it. Can't wait to get my hands on the full book.

With Ghost sadly in its final season this book will provide a lasting tribute to our favourite residents of Button House. This is a scrapbook providing background material on each of the characters, it gives insight into their characters and preoccupations and is lavishly illustrated throughout. As might be expected of the clever team that being us this programme there is much to amuse the reader in this book.

A Highly Recommended Read!

I received a sampler of this book and if you love the series you're going to love the handbook.
You too will be able to workout in the style of Captain Willbond, check out notes from the archaeological dig when they found the body of Robin or an inquiry into Julian. Lots of little snippets into the lives of the ghosts that reside on Button House, I can't wait to see the full book. Its definitely something that needs to go on your Christmas Wishlist this year!

This sampler has got me very excited about the book coming out this month. It's got letters, a getting to know you bio, transcripts from the House of Commons, newspaper clippings, a fitness guide, an archaeological report and more, just in this small sample. I can't wait to learn even more about the Ghosts when the book comes out. Thomas' letter is particularly brilliant! If you like the show this is a must read.

This is Hilarious! Although only a sampler, this book embodies each of the characters perfectly and in such creative ways too. I loved the use of the TV timetable as an insight to what they think the characters would enjoy watching as well as seeing into several of the characters various correspondences. I definitely want to pick up the full version of this once it comes out!

Perfect gift for anyone that loves the show!

I can’t wait to purchase the full version of this book! It encapsulates each ghosts personality perfectly, you can just imagine hearing these inserts in their voices. I truly believe ALL Ghosts fans will adore this book!

Some highlights include a love letter from Thomas, The Captain’s exercise routine and Julian sending an email from Mike’s laptop (first time i have laughed out loud at a book)

What an absolute treat this sampler is! I was very intrigued about how the writers were going to piece this book together - would it be scripts and character notes and absolutely love the scrapbook format giving more of an insight into the characters and their backgrounds while remaining very witty. This has now made me ridiculously excited to see the finished product in October! A very big thank you to Bloomsbury and NetGalley for the chance to have this sneak peek into something that Ghosts fans are going to adore.

I absolutely can’t wait to buy this book once it’s released, it is absolutely fascinating and gives an amazing insight into the creation of ghosts. This will make the perfect present for any ghosts fan.

This is going to be everywhere at Christmas! Some fabulous back stories to all of our favourite Ghosts characters, from love letters written by who else but Thomas, to some newspaper clippings demonstrating some of Pat's non-fatal accidents.... Written by all of the cast members in their inimitable voices, the range of stories and images in this companion book really makes this a must-buy for anyone who loves Ghosts!

I absolutely love the tv show Ghosts and am very excited for when this new companion book is published

I love this insight to the history of Cottonhouse and all the girls to reside there. There are back stories for the different characters, declarations of love, historical insights into life in the past, and excellent pictures of our favourite ghosts.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this eARC Sampler of 'Ghosts'

It's hard to review a sampler because I don't know the whole gist of the story at hand. But let's be real, it's a companion to the excellent TV show Ghosts which I adore so it was perfection. Fans of Ghosts will definitely need this on their shelves.

If you enjoy the TV series Ghosts, this book should be great fun, judging by the pre-publication sampler. Current owner of Button House, Alison has compiled an archive of artefacts concerning each of the ghosts. From a House of Commons hearing on Julian's fraudulent expense claim to newspaper articles about scoutmaster Pat and a lovelorn letter from Thomas (returned with a disparaging note from his beloved), not to mention an account of Mary's witch trial, there are interesting snippets about all the ghosts. Can't wait to read the completed book!

Having preordered the Ghosts book as a Christmas present for every Ghost fan I know and, ahem, for myself too, I was so excited to review a sampler of the book. This sampler has totally got me excited for the book's release in October. It's filled with documents such as archaeological reports., exercise routines, transcripts, newspaper articles, letters and more, from the lives of our favourite ghosts. I laughed out loud at every page, written perfectly so I could almost hear each ghost's voice as I read. Full of in jokes from the series and new information about each ghost too. This book is going to absolutely perfect for any fan of the show.

I received a sampler of the Ghosts Archives and I’ll start by saying, if you’re a fan of the show (I’m going to assume that you are because EVERYONE should be. It’s straight to the point pure epic), that you’re going to love this book. I only got a sneak peak and I thought it was the best thing ever.

I’m the biggest fan of Ghosts and the show is my ultimate comfort watch and totally won’t embarrass myself by saying how many times I’ve watched it, but the book is the most perfect companion. It’s a great addition to the show and we get further insights into all the characters we’ve come to know and love.

All of the ghosts have such huge personalities and it was great to see snippets of them on the pages.

Want to see the Captains recommended workout routine accompanied by some really inspired illustrations (yeah, you know you do), along with Mary’s instructions on how to build a basket 5 potatoes high. We get newspaper cuttings of some of Pat’s rather hilarious escapades and transcripts from some of Julian’s rather dodgy dealings and attempts to build his very own swimming pool on expenses… and the addition of the Times TV schedule spread with all of the programmes each of the ghosts have highlighted to watch was a further glorious insight into their personalities. I mean, Thomas on a Friends Marathon binge sound about right.

This book was a pure delight to read and it really made me smile. And if I got that just from the sneak preview, I can only imagine the full read will be everything us fans could want and more.

I’m going to be so sad to see this series end but having this book on my shelf is definitely somewhat of a balm to quell el heartbreak at having the series come to a close. I’m glad they decided to release a book as it really does give us a further opportunity to get to know more about the ghosts and enjoy a bit more of the show we all know and love.
