gerhard 's review for:

4.0

Perhaps one of the weirdest things about Twin Peaks is how co-creator Mark Frost transmutes a television show that seems to actively defy categorisation and thrive on the inexplicable into by-the-numbers UFO conspiracy theory, harking all the way back to good ol’ Roswell. I was surprised that Agent Dale Cooper and the murder of Laura Palmer feature only briefly towards the end; this is an entire book about ‘reconstructing’ the (perceived) historical truth of Twin Peaks, as it were. With [b:Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier|34802642|Twin Peaks The Final Dossier|Mark Frost|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1494627878s/34802642.jpg|56014415] due in October, it will be fun to read how Frost incorporates the mind-bending weirdness of Twin Peaks: The Return into his X-Files-like mythology. Oh, and if you think this book is not linked to The Return: I was chuffed to pick up on how Wally Brando references Lewis & Clark in his Great Speech in episode 4. The Owls are definitely not they seem.
