The Secret History of Twin Peaks by Mark Frost

4.0

Reading this book was like hanging out with old, very weird friends. It is set up as a kind of dossier on the history of Twin Peaks' (the town's) underlying strangeness. It starts with Lewis and Clark and moves through time, even involving Richard Nixon (who, at one point, says, "I am not a kook!" which made me laugh out loud!) I admit, all of the historical stuff didn't always hold my interest, but eventually, some familiar faces started to appear . . . the Horne family! Pete Martell! Jacques Renault! The Log Lady!!! When the TP characters I know and love started showing up, I couldn't help but smile. It was fun to be back in their weird little world. This book is only for the most hardcore of Twin Peaks fans. I'm pretty sure anyone else would just say, "What?" But anyway, it made me happy - though I would have liked a LOT more stuff about the Twin Peaks residents I know and less about aliens and Lewis and Clark and Richard Nixon.
