samlovesbooks 's review for:

3.0

I think if I had gotten a chance to read this before starting the new season, I would have gotten more out of it. A lot of the suspense was taken away when you know the fate of certain characters. It was interesting getting to know the background of the Twin Peaks area and all the alien conspiracies (who knew Doug Milford played such an integral role in the plot?), but overall I kind of felt like this book was... unnecessary.

I already knew the history of the Martell's vs the Packards, and how Josie was a shady character, so having that rehashed for a couple chapters was kind of meh. Especially considering this new season hasn't even mentioned the Packards or the Martell's, and the only character even featured is Major Briggs. I think Mark Frost just wanted to make a quick buck on the hype of his show coming back.

That being said, it's a gorgeously designed book and since I'm a total Twin Peaks nerd, I'm excited to have it on my shelf.
