thebogwitch 's review for:
“He said that the only way love ever affected death was in making it more painful.”
Truly a book strictly for Twin Peaks fans. Getting to see the life of Cooper, where he came from and what he experienced that molded him into who he was in the series, was a special look into a beloved character. Yet the author respected Cooper’s privacy and left parts of his life out, which I think allowed him a proper amount of mystery.
“I am sure of nothing except that to believe you know where you are headed is not to understand where one is at the moment.”
I found that the author managed to bring the strange atmosphere from the show into this book. It explores concepts of esoteric spirituality, grief and death, and the horrors humanity is willing to inflict on each other— and whether those horrors are a product of our own depraved minds or of an entity separate of ourselves that makes us do terrible things.
“Windom told me that he believes evil exists as an independent life force, and that it will eventually conquer good because of guile. ‘At the end of all battles only the victor is remembered,’ said Windom, ‘and no one remembers whether he was good or evil.’’
As you can tell, I found this look into Cooper’s life rewarding in its own way, as he left me with many gifts of wisdom I will keep close, even as the book is over— much like I did with the show. That being said, if you liked the show, this is a book for you! I found the Diary of Laura Palmer to be my personal favorite of the two, and I would highly recommend that as well (perhaps even more than this one). Though this book was delightful, I find myself drawn towards Laura’s book in a way I wasn’t to this one. Perhaps, finally seeing into the mind of the girl that bewitched the town of Twin Peaks long after her death felt secretive somehow, secretive beyond the insights this book offered.
“Is it true that as a species we are drawn to the one thing that most terrifies and confounds us?”
Regardless, this is certainly something I would recommend to those as obsessed with the show as I am.
