Exactly what I would expect from a Ghosts book and more! I especially liked the little interview with Kitty and can’t wait to read the others! Great examples of mixed medias and the classic humour we’ve come to love. Can’t wait to see the finished book as it’ll be top of my Christmas wish list!
I love Ghosts, such a well written, funny, and sometimes genuinely poignant show, and if this sample is anything to go by, the book will be a good extension of that - I found the Julian sections in particular very funny.
Will be keeping an eye out for the full book!
Ah what a little tease of a treat this is. I love Ghosts and this book looks like the perfect accompaniment for fans. Definitely one for the Christmas list! Lots of little in-jokes and subtle references for fans, and looks like it will make a great companion piece.
My thanks to NetGalley and Bloomsbury Publishers for a sample of “Ghosts” for an honest review.
I’m a big fan of both Ghosts and Ghosts US so I was really interested in reading a sample of this companion book to the series.I loved what content was previewed and I’m definitely going to be putting the book on my Christmas list !
I’m sure this will appeal to anyone who is a fan of the show
I received a sample copy of this from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
I'm only sorry that it was just a sample copy as the bits I read are excellent. I confess to being a huge fan of the BBC's Ghosts comedy and this book is a great companion piece for any fan. It helps that it's written by the same people who write the show, of course, and that they are some of the most talented comedy writers around today.
The layout is like a scrapbook of bits and pieces about the ghosts during their lives - Pat's misadventures as a scout leader covered in the local press, the minutes of a House of Commons Select Committee enquiry into Julian's expenses, Mary's instructions on how to weave a willow basket five potatoes high - and they're beautifully done, really capturing each ghost's personality. Even a double page of the Radio Times schedule with each ghost circling what programmes they will watch really sums them up.
One for the fans perhaps, but there are plenty of us and with the last series coming up, I'll take everything I can get!
