The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer

The Secret Diary Of Laura Palmer is one of the oddest books I've read as of recent. Written in an Epistolary format, the book gives us a close and very personal look of the life of Laura Palmer.

The initial build up to her loss of innocence is done very well with disturbing metaphors and shocking imagery.

Sadly though, the shock wears off quite quickly.

The drug-filled, sex-driven, adventures of Laura Palmer drag on for far too long. The psychological aspects of the story are quite interesting and give much to those who'd like to theorize about her character. The added insight as to how she felt during the events leading up to Fire Walk With Me and eventually her death were very welcome.

In short, The Secret Diary Of Laura Palmer is an interesting expansion on the already fascinating lore of the world of Twin Peaks just without the compelling story and beautiful visuals of Fire Walk With Me.
