Summary: A Must-Have For Twin Peaks Fans
Comment: For those who are familiar with the 1990's TV series "Twin Peaks", this book is a must-have. It begins on Laura Palmer's 12th birthday and documents most of the important events in her short life, up to a few days before her murder and the disappearance of this diary. Although "The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer" is very provocative (after all, how many young girls have 40 lovers before they turn 15, are constantly abused by an unknown entity named BOB, and also struggle with a cocaine addiction?), I wasn't entirely shocked. I had watched the series first, as well as the movie ("Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me"), before reading this book (which I highly recommend other readers do as well; otherwise, you might be a little lost), so I pretty much knew what to expect from Laura. However, I never did feel any closer to her after reading her diary, probably because there were giant time lapses between entries, and the book didn't even read like a diary at times. Still, I highly recommend this book to "Twin Peaks" fans who are interested in Laura Palmer's past. And even if you've never watched the series, you might want to give this one a try and "discover the nightmare version of daddy's little girl". After reading this, you'll definitely want to watch the series and movie again. You might even catch some clues you didn't see before.

Summary: INCEST AND RAPE RUINS PEOPLES LIVES
Comment: READ THE BOOK BEFORE YOU READ MY REVIEW!!BR>WHEN READING THIS BOOK PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE PHRASES IN ITALICS, THEY HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHATS GOING ON.

My suggestions to this book is whatch the pilot epesode of twin peaks, read the book, then watch the movie Fire Walk with Me, it will blow your mind into peices. After youve done this if you want a second chance at the story, read the book first, watch the movie FWWM, then view the pilot. AMAZINGThis is the best part of the whole TP world. This book shows the thoughts of the perfect girl(footbal star boyfriend, honor roll, homecoming queen) living in a small town, become a victom to the most evil of crimes. This is the best, most REALISTIC illuistration of what goes on in the mind of a girl who is being molested. ...... Most of her behavoir is a cry for help, but by this point she is very confused. Then after she quits sleeping out of fear of being raped and her HEAVY drug use she becomes schizophrenic and starts to see BOB as an actual person, and hears his voice in her head and transcripts the conversations in her diary. By this point she does not know weather to believe she has ever been raped or if she is completely insain. After she writes some incriminating evidence about her fathers boss, her father tears out the pages. When she finds her diary with missing pages she begins to relize that BOB is a real person. She then slowely starts to realize who BOB is while writing in her diary. ...
Laura sees Small Hills and the Fire in her dream when she was first raped. Small Hills are her developing breasts, hence the name Twin Peaks. BECAUSE of the psychological trauma of being raped she starts to destroy herself (drugs, sex, violence)hence the phrase Fire Walk with Me.
AFTER you realize ...basicly whats going on in this book, it is ONE HUNDRED TIMES more twisted and is very hard to read.... IT is completely DISTURBING! you see how Laura is this wonderfull little inocent girl, and gets emotionally TORTURED and DESTROYED. This book will change the way you inturpeted Twin Peaks completely, BOB is not a demon but a way of Laura denying reality. ... This book only makes sense for the first couple of episodes, then TP gets way OFF the story and doesnt really go along with this inturpretation. BUT FWWM goes PERFECT with this book. SORRY My spelling [is bad}

Summary: A must read for every Twin Peaks fan!
Comment: I just read this book for the second time and with clear mind I can state that this book catches the great atmosphere residing in the little town Twin Peaks. The diary is focused (as expected) on the person of Laura Palmer - the girl who when found killed unleashes a masterpiece movie by the genius David Lynch. Almost every character from the Twin Peaks series has its place on the pages of this diary and as in the movie, most of the facts are left to the raders to interpret in their own way. The fate of Laura Palmer is moving and her character quite interesting - for most persons not knowing her she seems to have quite a strong character but deep inside she's a weak little girs seeking out for help. At the end of the story however she loses the fight she's been losing almost all her life. Or does she lose at the end? It is up to your interpretation as I mentioned.
