they just look scary。[。。。]The world is changing pronto， Chief， and now that these salt-of-the-earth “country volk” realize they’ve been left behind， it’s going to be sheer hell playing catch-up。 （I know， I know， I’m a raging asshole。）And speaking of entrepreneurial initiative， here’s a no-brainer: Why don’t some of these enterprising yokels kick-start a craft brewery here in town？ They’d instantly attract an endless stream of thirsty proles， and the only competition is swill。Enough community building for one night。 To sum up: Leo Johnson’s dead。 Having a hard time arguing that the local landscape isn’t trending upward because of it。"2） "The level of Cooper’s suffering and remorse in the terrible aftermath of these tragic events can’t be underestimated。 He fiercely committed himself to counseling and self-reflection during his physical recovery in a way that was 100 percent sincere。 He’s on record—well， tape， anyway—confirming that this experience represented the most difficult lesson of his life， and， admirably， he took it to heart。 But that’s not quite the same thing as entirely purging an ingrained impulse to save a troubled woman from herself， is it， Chief？（Am I being too harsh on Agent Cooper here？ I’m open to suggestions， so please let me know if you feel that’s the case。 Notwithstanding its importance， I believe Cooper’s obsession with the Laura Palmer case harbors echoes of this tendency。）"3） "James had edged past thirty， and at this point the bloom faded permanently from his Kerouac romance with the road。 Once his leg healed up， he went back to work for Ed at the Gas Farm， and a few years later he took a second job working night security at the Great Northern。 He lives alone， modestly， drives a used Ford Focus now， still plays guitar， writes plaintive， simple， and appealing songs—unrequited love， heartbreak， and so on—that he sometimes performs locally， and as far as I can tell has never hurt another human being。"4） [Margaret Lanterman， read aloud at her funeral] "Every meeting between friends must end with a parting， and so， my friends， today we take our leave。 This is life。 None of us profits from ignoring or hiding from the facts， so why should we bother？ Life is what it is， a gift that is given to us for a time—like a library book—that must eventually be returned。 How should we treat this book？ If we are able to remember that it is not ours to begin with—one that we’re entrusted with， to care for， to study and learn from—perhaps it would change the way we treat it while it’s in our possession。 How do you treat a precious gift from a dear friend？ This is a good question to ask， and today is a good time to ask it。Such busy， busy minds we have。 Have you noticed？ We think and we think until we twist ourselves into the ground like a flathead screw。 My log has this to say: The answers to all our questions are in the wind and the trees， the rocks and the water。No one is helpless。 No one is beyond helping。 It is good to seek out those who need us and do what we can for them。 I recommend that。 There is nothing that can’t be done if we set our minds to doing it。 Don’t be sad。 Be happy you have another day to do what needs doing。 We only have so many of them。We are born into this world， not another one。 It’s not perfect， but it is what it is。 This world presents some simple， certain truths。 It helps us grow if we accept them， but many of these truths seem to trouble or frighten us。 For instance， there is no light without darkness—and this troubles many of us—but without it， how else would we tell one from the other？ We spend half of every day in darkness; surely we should make our peace with this。 You may decide to see this as a metaphor。 Many people do。 I see it as a fact。 Metaphors are beautiful ways of speaking about the truth。 So are facts。 Both tell us that time—and light， and darkness—moves in cycles。 We move through them， too， often as passengers， but if our eyes are open， there is much to be learned along the way。 A traveler learns more than a passenger。 When darkness comes， a traveler learns to be brave， for they know the light will return。 Anyone who’s spent a night alone in the woods learns this。 When a dark age comes， hold the light inside。 That’s where it lives anyway。 There are forces of darkness—and beings of darkness—and they are real and have always been around us。 They’re part of the dance， just as you and I are; they’re just listening to different music。 This may be the most troubling truth we will ever know。 Many of us live most of our lives and brush up against this reality only rarely。 It is far from pleasant， but wishing it were otherwise will not make it so。So may I offer a suggestion: When a dark age comes， just as you would at night， hold the light inside you。 Others， I can tell you， have already learned to do the same。 In time， you will learn to recognize the light， in yourself and others。 In this way you will find each other。 Together， you will make the light stronger。This truth I know as sure as the dawn: Darkness will always yield to light， when the light is strong。"5） "I’m on the plane now， in the air， forty minutes east of Spokane。 The uncanny penumbra I reported hasn’t left me—I barely slept—but it’s fading as I travel farther east。 I don’t know what to make of it。You wanted to know what happened there in that town and region， to these people you knew， whom I feel I’ve come to know now as well。 They meant something to you for a reason， I think， beyond just your knowing them， beyond that they were good or interesting people in their own right: because it was all there， in that one town。 All of life， cradle to grave， every shade and color of the spectrum， like a fractal， itself made up of infinite parts。 The ocean in a drop of water。" 。。。more

This book is for anyone who just needs some closure from the series。 This book gives details that the series did not on certain characters and what happened to them after the season 2 finale for those who didn’t really show up in season three

A really cool look into the backstory of many characters。 At times， the narrative tone doesn't seem to fit with what we know about the narrator or what an FBI file actually sounds like though。 A really cool look into the backstory of many characters。 At times， the narrative tone doesn't seem to fit with what we know about the narrator or what an FBI file actually sounds like though。 。。。more

This is by far one of the more visually appealing books I own。 I bought this hoping for more answers after finally watching the 3rd season。 While there were some answers I certainly didn’t walk away with everything I wanted to know。。。 that however is pretty par for the course in a Lynchian enterprise。 That said the answers I did get were probably better found through a google search for me。 I found most of this book uninspiring and therefore I did not return to pick it up with any regularity， in This is by far one of the more visually appealing books I own。 I bought this hoping for more answers after finally watching the 3rd season。 While there were some answers I certainly didn’t walk away with everything I wanted to know。。。 that however is pretty par for the course in a Lynchian enterprise。 That said the answers I did get were probably better found through a google search for me。 I found most of this book uninspiring and therefore I did not return to pick it up with any regularity， instead it languished into my nightstand for months。 。。。more

This one holds together as a “novel” far less wellthan “The Secret History” does， but is still absolutely fascinating for fans of the series。As a complete and self sustaining masterpiece， The Return does stand alone。 However， “The Final Dossier” does a great job at proving some of the background info that Lynch was uninterested in （or lacked the time） to provide in The Return。 Ultimately though， this book is for completists only。

I have mixed feelings about this book。 Frost tries to answer some of the mysteries created during the Return。 Some are okay， others are。。。lacking。 Part of the magic of TP is the mystery， so attempts to clear up mysteries can be a mixed bag。 It's also missing the Lynchian surreality that is one of his trademarks。 He has no credit on this， so I suppose that's understandable if a little unfortunate。 Still， it is Twin Peaks， so it's hard not to be enraptured by this world。 I have mixed feelings about this book。 Frost tries to answer some of the mysteries created during the Return。 Some are okay， others are。。。lacking。 Part of the magic of TP is the mystery， so attempts to clear up mysteries can be a mixed bag。 It's also missing the Lynchian surreality that is one of his trademarks。 He has no credit on this， so I suppose that's understandable if a little unfortunate。 Still， it is Twin Peaks， so it's hard not to be enraptured by this world。 。。。more

I liked the dossier structure of this in theory， but in reality， it read more like a synopsis of a tv show than a book or an fbi dossier。 As a lynchophile and twin peaks fan， I enjoyed the context this provided for the 3rd season （though I wish it wasn't needed at all） and it provided a few easter eggs of the show that I found very satisfying。 It should be noted that to understand anything that's happening in this book， you have to watch all 3 seasons。 I look forward to rewatching the series wit I liked the dossier structure of this in theory， but in reality， it read more like a synopsis of a tv show than a book or an fbi dossier。 As a lynchophile and twin peaks fan， I enjoyed the context this provided for the 3rd season （though I wish it wasn't needed at all） and it provided a few easter eggs of the show that I found very satisfying。 It should be noted that to understand anything that's happening in this book， you have to watch all 3 seasons。 I look forward to rewatching the series with the knowledge， although I would have liked a bit more of background on some characters that I don't feel got appropriate closure on （looking at you， Audrey）。 。。。more

Certainly not as interesting or fun as The Secret History but it serves to tie off and wrap up some of the questions about The Return and also explains away some of the missing characters。 Only for the die hard fans this one！

We are like the dreamer who lives inside the dream。 But who is the dreamer？A great addition to the world of Twin Peaks by Frost。 I'm not sure if the manuscripts ever passed David Lynch's eyes， but Twin Peaks is as much Marks as it is David's。 He's done a lovely job at fleshing out some of the 'missing pieces' and character information whilst retaining the mystery that holds the fabric of TP's world together。 All in all a great companion piece。Damn good dossier。 We are like the dreamer who lives inside the dream。 But who is the dreamer？A great addition to the world of Twin Peaks by Frost。 I'm not sure if the manuscripts ever passed David Lynch's eyes， but Twin Peaks is as much Marks as it is David's。 He's done a lovely job at fleshing out some of the 'missing pieces' and character information whilst retaining the mystery that holds the fabric of TP's world together。 All in all a great companion piece。Damn good dossier。 。。。more

The writing is monotonous and hackneyed as hell， very few interesting mysteries are resolved， a lot of the book is just recapping what happened in the earlier books/seasons/movies， and the character of Tammy Preston is severely underdeveloped and seems unnecessary。

Where the first has a lot of fun conspiracy connection making this is more of a basic wrap up on the series。 Letting you know how all the characters you love have fared。

Asked about this book， Lynch said it was Frost’s interpretation of what happened during the special event and during these 25 years， and it is。 This is the best a fan can get to an actual meaning of all that happened on the craziest and most sublime season of Twin Peaks。 It’s a book made for the fans， not absolutely needed to enjoy the season but a fine wrap-up of it。

A not so satisfying yet interesting conclusion to the Twin Peaks saga。 "Written" by Special Agent Tamara Preston， this dossier style book fills in some of the missing pieces of the events of Twin Peaks， both series and the movie。 When I say it fills in some of the missing pieces， I really mean very little， since it is always Lynch's style to leave more questions than answers and to formulate your own beliefs about what you have seen and read。 Infuriating， but so blasted entertaining。 A must read A not so satisfying yet interesting conclusion to the Twin Peaks saga。 "Written" by Special Agent Tamara Preston， this dossier style book fills in some of the missing pieces of the events of Twin Peaks， both series and the movie。 When I say it fills in some of the missing pieces， I really mean very little， since it is always Lynch's style to leave more questions than answers and to formulate your own beliefs about what you have seen and read。 Infuriating， but so blasted entertaining。 A must read for any Peaks fan。 Make sure you read The Secret History of Twin Peaks before this for a great intro to all that happened before Laura was wrapped in plastic。 。。。more

I don’t really understand Mark Frost’s need to force Twin Peaks and Fire Walk With Me into a watertight narrative with a bunch of lore， it’s not entirely possible and doesn’t really have any bearing on the overarching story as it already stands。 We all have an understanding of what’s happening with things like the Black Lodge and various entities， the jade ring and Phillip Jeffries， but seeing it all spelled out for you is a bit like seeing how the sausage is made。 Having said that， there are so I don’t really understand Mark Frost’s need to force Twin Peaks and Fire Walk With Me into a watertight narrative with a bunch of lore， it’s not entirely possible and doesn’t really have any bearing on the overarching story as it already stands。 We all have an understanding of what’s happening with things like the Black Lodge and various entities， the jade ring and Phillip Jeffries， but seeing it all spelled out for you is a bit like seeing how the sausage is made。 Having said that， there are some really significant details here concerning The Return， so it’s worth a quick read。 。。。more

This is just really bad fan fiction。 Yes， it’s written by the co-creator of the series， but it only shows that Mark Frost doesn’t understand the story he co-created。 At least， he doesn’t understand it the way David Lynch and most of its fans do。 Twin Peaks is not about connecting all the dots and answering all the questions （though there are many moments， especially in season three， when answers to certain questions would be most welcome）。 Rather， it’s more of a narrative doorway to many differe This is just really bad fan fiction。 Yes， it’s written by the co-creator of the series， but it only shows that Mark Frost doesn’t understand the story he co-created。 At least， he doesn’t understand it the way David Lynch and most of its fans do。 Twin Peaks is not about connecting all the dots and answering all the questions （though there are many moments， especially in season three， when answers to certain questions would be most welcome）。 Rather， it’s more of a narrative doorway to many different possibilities and musings。 This is particularly true throughout the brilliant， dark， infuriating third season， when the possible interpretations crash in on one another in sometimes frustrating ways。 The final episode seems almost disconnected from the rest of the story， and rather than answering any questions， or even leaving a cliff-hanger that makes any sense， it suggests that maybe every story we think we know is always in motion， always ready to yank us into a parallel story。 I don’t know if this explains why our own stories seem so fractured and complex， or if it just makes everything feel more that way， regardless of the logic we think we see around us。 Can there ever be a world in which Laura Palmer is happy？ Is there a lesson Cooper needs to learn， or is he stuck with his misguided self-confident arrogance， which will keep throwing him into story after story but will never give him a resolution？These are interesting questions。 Wondering what Dr。 Jacoby was up to in the 25 years between the original series and the third season is not。 At least， it’s not worth a chapter of a book。 The Final Dossier is different from the also-bad Secret History book in that it’s not “archivist” documents but instead is all memos written by Tammy Preston to Gordon Cole， trying to tie up loose ends from the investigation。 This is a problem， because in the show， Agent Preston is a boring minor character who says about 15 words total。 Now we read a book written by her in which she is over-the-top chatty and sarcastic。 Where did this come from？ The voice is also inconsistent， and some of what she reports from historical documents （Albert used the phrase “trigger warning” in 1989？） is odd。A lot of the book seems to want to retcon details that don’t obviously fit in anywhere。 Some of it is trying to fix things that Frost got wrong in the previous book。 One entire chapter is an enormously convoluted retcon that tries to cover up the fact that in the earlier book Frost forgot that Norma’s mother didn’t die in the 1980s。 What Frost comes up with is so much worse than just admitting that the previous book was wrong （as any fan of the series could have told him）。 More embarrassing is that this book refers to the Log Lady as “Margaret Coulson，” mixing up the name of the actress （Catherine Coulson） with the name of the character （clearly given as Margaret Lanterman in the series）。 Nobody caught this before the book was published？There are no answers to more pressing plot-related questions， such as when， how， and why Ray Monroe started working for Philip Jeffries， why Jeffries is now inside a large tea kettle in an old motel room， why the Arm now looks like a cheap plastic tree instead of a small man in a red suit， the origins of Janey-E and Sonny Jim， whether Miriam recovers in the hospital （okay， that’s not so pressing; but I’m still curious）。 Sadly， there’s no further background on the Mitchum brothers and Candie， Sandie， and Mandie。 Not urgent， but I love those characters and would actually like to read more about them。There’s quite a bit about Audrey， but that’s a huge area where Frost’s retconning is unneeded。 At the end of the original series， Audrey （much as I love her） is obviously dead。 The fact that she reappears in season three is problematic， but Lynch leaves it relatively open for us to assume that she is， in fact， dead and either in the Black Lodge or hell。 At the very least， she’s in a mental institution， locked in her own imagination。 （The difficulty here is Richard; I don’t know any good way of explaining him。） So when Frost comes up with a backstory where Audrey opened a hair salon in Twin Peaks 。 。 。 please， no。 That is not the way it happened。There’s some explanation of where Annie is now， but it doesn’t make a lot of sense。 Omitting her from the third season was a very strange choice。The series， though I love it， certainly has its continuity problems， but Frost’s books are so off the mark （ha ha）， it’s really disappointing。 This is a case where the TV series just is a TV series， and it doesn’t translate well to any other medium。 。。。more

This was， most of all， an intriguing read for a Twin Peaks fan。 The canon additions are sweet but they do teeter dangerously close toward blatant fan service。The Return was against （or just enough for） catering to fans， so this doesn’t feel very fitting。 Not to say I didn’t love it through and through！ It was fun catching up with everything that the Return omitted。 Even though they did sometimes feel like winks of the eye。
