ethanlj 's review for:
The Secret History of Twin Peaks
by Mark Frost
I picked this up because I loved the 1990-91 television show, enjoyed the creepy mythology, and am looking forward to the 2017 Showtime revival. If that describes you as well, this is a Five-Star book. If any of those don't fit you, read on.
This book is a clever bit of recap for the 25 year old show, fleshing out characters you already know, not revealing too much, and expanding the mythology in new directions. It's not a story with a plot but it's a dossier of "found artifacts" with layers of commentary and annotation. It's occasionally spooky and mixes the real with the fictional to the point that I had to fact check some things. It's written by the head writer of the show so it feels authentic to the characters and place.
If you're not a fan of the old show *and* looking forward to the show, I can't imagine you'd enjoy this. It's for fans only. But big TP fans should not miss it.
