Sinossi
La figlia del leggendario Harold Ramis ci regala questo resoconto esilarante e commovente della vita, del lavoro e dell'eredità artistica di suo padre. La maggior parte di noi conosce Harold Ramis come l'attore, lo scrittore o il regista che ha infuso il calore e l'umorismo in classici della comicità come Animal House, Palla da golf, Ghostbusters, National Lampoon's Vacation e Ricomincio da capo. Per Violet era anche e soprattutto un padre, un confidente e un amico straordinario. In "Harold Ramis, mio padre l'acchiappafantasmi", Violet offre al lettore uno sguardo sincero e acuto sull'uomo che ha contribuito a rifondare la moderna commedia americana. Dalle sue umili radici a Chicago all'ascesa verso la celebrità, questa biografia offre un ritratto completo non solo della sua carriera, ma illustra la sua filosofia personale sulla vita, sull'amore e sul cinema, oltre a raccontare una relazione padre-figlia tutt'altro che convenzionale. Violet firma un libro di memorie decisamente insolito di uno dei nomi più importanti e dei volti più amati del cinema comico a stelle e strisce. Prefazione di Seth Rogen.

Egon was always my favorite Ghostbuster, and anyone who loves Harold Ramis should read this book! Violet Ramis-Stiel does a phenomenal job detailing the life of her dad and the close bond they shared. This book reads less like a memoir and more like an invitation into a very loving, unusual, and som Leggi tutto
Fabulous, haunting book that I have not been able to stop thinking about since I read it. I wasn't even the hugest fan of Ramis but his daughter made him come alive for me, warts and all. It shows how you can be an imperfect parent and still be loved fiercely by your child. Stunning story on the bon Leggi tutto
A sweet reminder of how powerful a father/daughter relationship can be. Loved learning more about Harold Ramis! His movies were great, as was he!
Violet Ramis Stiel's affectionate memoir of her father, writer-director-producer-actor Harold Ramis (GROUNDHOG DAY, ANIMAL HOUSE, CADDYSHACK, GHOSTBUSTERS), offers an overview of both his successful career and their often chaotic family life. At one point, Ramis tells his daughter, "I think, really, Leggi tutto
Really hated this book. For many, many reasons. Primarily, it didn't leave me with a very high opinion of EITHER the author or her father Harold Ramis. It gave me upsetting details about him that I really didn't need to know, and the creative side of his films and writing definitely got the back sea Leggi tutto
I was really enjoying it until Harold callously drowned a cat 1/4 of the way through the book. NOPE. DONE.
Couldn’t put it down and read the entire book in one day. Here was my adolescence through adulthood juxtaposed with one of my favorite actors and screenwriters life story. The brave memoir of Harold Ramis’ daughter is honest, eye-opening, and beautifully told with candid photos and countless interes Leggi tutto
This book verified everything that I love about Harold Ramis and introduced me to a lot of things that I never expected. Violet's story is more than just an homage to the celebrity we all grew up admiring; it's a heartfelt love letter to a father that clearly left his daughter with the message that
