Reading an interview with Kyle MacLachlan recently, I remembered about this book and the Twin Peaks series I used to watch with my whole family on Saturday nights, eating home-made pizza. And I didn't mind cleaning the table because I imagined I was Shelly, the cute waitress. :)
As for the book, as far as I remember, focuses on Dale Cooper's life before he arrives in Twin Peaks, where the TV series begins. I guess the 90's weren't so bad after all! :))

A really interesting look at the history of "Twin Peaks'" Special Agent Dale Cooper--and surprisingly true in tone to the quirky FBI agent portrayed by Kyle Maclachlan.
I especially liked the snippets of insight into canon characters--Dennis Byrson, Gordon Cole, and Albert Rosenfield. And of course Diane. I would have to say that the only downside would be not seeing more of their interactions with Coop.
Also pie and coffee feature quite prominently.
The story begins with 13-yr-old Dale receiving his first tape recorder and ends with his assignment to the Laura Palmer case. His escapades as a child are tender, hilarious, and down-right nerve-wracking. Seeing Cooper grow up into the off-beat agent that we see in the show is especially intriguing.

Niet zo bizar als The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer, maar ook hier geldt: een must read voor Twin Peaks fans.
VEry, very funny, and a whole lot better than it has any right to be.
Note: it's written by Scott Frost, not Mark Frost. They're brothers.

This was a nice bit of fluffy Twin Peaks related distraction. I enjoyed the humorous bits more than the dark bits. They captured the voice of Cooper well but it ended rather abruptly. Meh.

This is another perfect companion book for any TWIN PEAKS fan. The book fills in some blanks from the series.

Really really enjoyed this book, it gave me a lot of context for one of my favorite characters and I often think of it when watching the show. Windom storyline was pretty rushed and as with all the books there are inconsistencies, but I'm willing to explain those away. Overall I'd give it 5 stars if they'd done the Windom storyline more justice but still worth the read.
