A review by debznfozbooks
The Secret History of Twin Peaks by Mark Frost

3.0

It has to be said I love twin peaks. I’m a huge fan so of course I’m reading all the books that go along with it.

This is pretty fun, especially when you realise your reading about characters or relations to characters of the first two series.

My problem was, a great deal of the book seemed to be about sightings of unknown flying objects. It’s not something I’m particularly interested in and the accounts are quite dry.

Also for this kind of book, I prefer to know everything is factual and the mix of the fact / fiction didn’t really hold my attention.

However as soon as we get to the next section, the families of twin peaks it gets great again. And I love the central concept of who is the archivist is brilliant. Seriously, who is the archivist???

Mini rant 1. I’m so sad the Double R Diner sells veal. I’ll tolerate your usual meat recipes but veal??? Oh Norma, I’d be boycotting your diner which makes me sad.

Mini Rant 2. I STILL don’t understand that business with Josie and the Packards. So this book tries to lay it all out and it’s still incomprehensible. Just.... bonkers.

The ending is great.
