"Something's wrong; whether it's with me or this place, I don't know and I don't really care anymore."
Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier is the perfect follow up to Twin Peaks: The Return (Season 3) and The Secret History of Twin Peaks. The Final Dossier is much smaller than the first book and gets straight to the point with a few pages than concentrate on certain characters in the Twin Peaks universe. It bridges the gap between what happened between the end of season 2 and the beginning of season 3. Then towards the end of the book it focuses on what happened after season 3. There are a lot of links to the film Fire Walk With Me and other areas that may not have stood out at first in the series but are now fundamental to the timeline. Frost has really done a great job with this! I also have to mention the quality of the book, the pages and some pictures are really great! I highly recommend this to any fan of Twin Peaks but you must only read this after you have watched Season 3!
A definite 5 out of 5 for this!

This actually tied up far more loose ends than I was expecting, and confirmed some suspicions from the Return. Really enjoyable read and a must for any Twin Peaks fan.

This is a lot easier to read than the first one. I just wish it... had more answers? Although I know that's not the point. Also, that I'd read this closer to finishing season 3.

A fun supplemental reading for Twin Peaks. I was hoping to gain some more insight into the bizarre and confounding journey that is the Return, and while I got some of that, I am also left with more questions than answers. Which, considering what Twin Peaks' nature, is not necessarily a bad thing. The mystery goes on.

The Final Dossier is nothing more than an embarrassingly half-arsed attempt at more fan service and more money. It is a series of short, sometimes incomplete summaries about what happened to some (not all, sorry Andy/Lucy fans) popular characters from Twin Peaks (mixed with a few confirmations of theories about The Return, like the identity of the black and white girl). This is pure fan fiction without any attempt at replicating the art it's trying to honour.
The Final Dossier reads like Frost sat down with a few stiff drinks and amused himself with daydreams about how Twin Peaks characters would interact with our modern world. It doesn't read like a damn fine attempt to put a blue rose on top of this mystery.
Once upon a time, there was a hit show called Twin Peaks. Years later, it returned and was torn apart by loyal fans desperate for more, the director's disinterest in the old story, and the co-creator's penchant for over-explaining. They once came together to make a strange, thoughtful, and wonderfully surreal whole; now they use their Twin Peaks instalments to argue back and forth about how to build and tell the story... and hell, even what the story actually is.
