Grade 5 Up–While some shows, like
The Simpsons, live up to fans expectations when put in comic-book format, others do not, and
Ghostbusters is part of the latter category. Its not even remotely clever; the creators dont seem to realize that some things that are funny in live action just dont work in print. Kids who have enjoyed the show will surely pick up this book, but will be left uninspired and bored. The illustrations do not help the story along; little attention is paid to detail, the characters are lifeless, and the colors are washed out and dont add any action or mood to the scenes. The cartoon show is silly and witty; this book has neither quality.
