Book Reviews of The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer (A Twin Peaks Book)
Book Review: INCEST AND RAPE RUINS PEOPLES LIVES
Summary: 5 Stars
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. AMAZING
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}
Book Review: A Must-Have For Twin Peaks Fans
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Book Review: The secret diary of Laura Palmer
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book when I was 13 years old and I thought it was so good I passed it on to a friend. When my friend moved she took the book with her. I recently dicovered some of my old diarys and I remembered the book, I am so glad that I found it and read it as an adult. WOW! What a book. I wish that I could remeber the t.v show a little bit better. I recomend this book to all. It maybe fictional but things like this happen all the time and maybe it would help someone just by reading it.......I dont know about anybody else but I got the chills when ever his "name" came up. I suggest reading this book when your alone without any one there to bother you and when you have some time because you wont want to put it down :)
Book Review: Laura Palmer :o(
Summary: 5 Stars
Dear readers-I am here to tell you what I thought about the Twin Peaks book, The Secret Diary Of Laura Palmer.
I thought this book was wonderful!! Laura was a great girl who had great friends and a great life, one that all girls dream of.
Until one night when Laura decided she wanted to get a little freaky with some Canadian boys in the woods (very dumb idea to go to the woods with people they didn't know, I mean come on the woods of all places?) anyways, once she did that her life was on a short and deadly, danger and pain filled road. I beleive her whole bad life was to be blamed on the one night in the woods, when she was addicted to drugs(she started doing drugs that night when the Canadian boys, Laura, and Donna were smoking that "funny looking cigarette" (weed) And when she got addicted to alchohol, she said it herself that was the first time she had ever drank anything except a glass of champagne on the night of Donna's Dad's birthday. They had gotten drunk and thrown up!!
Plus when Laura got addicted to sex (beame a slut) she had also said herself that that was her first sexual experience. All of the facts add up that mabey if that one night didn't happen and if those three Canadian boys from out of town , Josh, Tim, and Rick, hadn't been at the coffee shop that night mabey Laura would still be alive today, the only facts against my story are, WHY DIDN'T DONNA DIE? SHE WAS THERE TO!! and my answer to that is simple Laura was weaker then Donna, Donna was a "good girl" Laura was looking to be bad, longing for excitement in her picture perfect world...IF SHE WAS BAD, SHE WOULD OF ENDED UP THE SAME WAY....RIGHT? perhaps she would have...but none of us could be certain, after that night things changed....for the worst!! One mystery that has already been solved....Laura Palmer is missed.
Book Review: A Young Woman's Life Makes A Mindblowing Novel
Summary: 4 Stars
"The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer" is a book that will make your jaw drop to the floor. The story centers around a woman by the name of Laura Palmer. Through her very eyes, the book shows how her reality is plagued by sex, drugs, and even an evil man trying to take over her life (known as BOB). A lot like Stephen King's novels, this book is shocking and disturbing, but unlike King, "The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer" is easy to read and the words flow smoothly. On a scale of one to ten (one being the lowest score and ten being the highest), I rate this book an eight. The story kept me compelled to read more and find out what else happened in Laura's intense life!
