The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer (Twin Peaks)

This book is an absolutely heartbreaking look at 4 years of hell that Laura Palmer lived in before her death. There are difficult passages about statutory rape, though if you’ve already watched the series you know what you’re in for with Laura’s story. It wasn’t pleasant. If you can, listen to the audiobook. It’s read by Sheryl Lee, the actress that portrayed Laura in the series.

Cried reading this.The book came bent and slightly damaged but its ok

This book was really enlightening on the life and final days of Laura Palmer, but it was pretty difficult to read. It was creepy to read some of the entries and imagine they were coming from the mind of a 12 year old child, the diary starts off very early in her life and it gets dark FAST. There's some entries that are just a little too descriptive, in my personal opinion. I get that it's supposed to be a diary, but reading entries like that and knowing they were supposed to be coming from a child was a bit too much for me.It's a great item to have for your Twin Peaks collection and worth reading at least once. I can safely say once is enough for me. You can tell this book was written by a Lynch, that's for sure.

Sheryl Lee nailed it with a powerhouse performance that you can really feel.The story itself is a coming-of-age tale about a teenage girl named Laura, who has dissociative identity disorder, but with that quirky, dark aura for which Twin Peaks is well known. Laura suffers abuse by what seems to be an incubus named BOB. It's reminiscent of A Nightmare on Elm Street, if Freddy decided to ignore everyone else and just focus on Nancy with harassment, torture, and rape instead of simply killing her until she decided to avoid sleep with cocaine.It's excellent at exploring the tragic rationale of how people spiral out of control when they have yet to overcome protracted cruelty, with emphasis on timeless, universal themes such as self-loathing and self-improvement. She's a prophecy of her abuser, but still tries to do good deeds to redeem herself. Very powerful and depressing. It's a great meditation on the pain of insecurity, particularly poignant to people wrestling with issues related to sexuality. What's usually left out of the reviews is that Laura identifies as bisexual, and is taunted for it several times by her abuser, which is very painful as a gay person who grew up in the 1980s myself.Laura is an excellent writer, and we can tell from the elegant prose, alone, how smart and determined she is, and how she could have been someone great if it wasn't for her trauma. Unfortunately, this isn't the type of situation where you can tell an adult to stop blaming everything on childhood abuse.Much praise has been given to Jennifer Lynch for her words, and rightfully so (it's almost as if it was based on her own experience) but this review is also for the audio book and Sheryl Lee's performance. Sheryl Lee is known for her activism and philanthropy for many causes, but specifically for child abuse victims, and it shows in her performance. She's always brave, but especially here... really at the top of her game.The run-time is almost 7 hours, but it flies by like the rollercoaster that it is.

I can’t remember how many times I cried reading this book. I feel like I know her. Her passion, fear and courage is all in this book. Her poems and dreams slowly foreshadowing what we all know is bound to happen. Yet it still leaves me speechless when it arrives. Laura is somehow bound to this fate. An intense unfolding of events that propel her only deeper into darkness. Sometimes reading I would just want to scream. I wish I could read more of this incredible book. Jennifer lynch is a genius just like her father.

The book is an interesting read, and adds a lot to the lore of Twin Peaks. It's a must-buy for fans. It's written by Jennifer Lynch, daughter of series co-creator David Lynch. The book is written as if it's actually Laura Palmer's diary and helps the reader gain more insight into the horrible events surrounding her death.Now, I'm giving this book a 3 star rating. This has nothing to do with the writing and has everything to do with the product I received. I was very disappointed with the condition the book was in when I received it. For some reason, the bottom of the book has been marked on with a black marker, not sure why, and the corners of the front and back cover have been bent. Now, normally this wouldn't annoy me as the actual content of the book hasn't been affected, but as a huge fan of Twin Peaks I wanted to display it with the rest of my memorabilia, now I can't. I'm pretty sure I purchased the book brand new, and was certainly not expecting it to arrive in such a condition.

Disturbing, Beautiful, and Absolutely Not for the Faint of Heart 🖤📖Reading The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer is like pulling the curtains back in Twin Peaks and realizing the pretty little town is sitting on a sinkhole full of nightmares. You think you know Laura—homecoming queen, angelic smile, the kind of girl who sells raffle tickets at the school fair—but this book makes you realize she’s living twenty different lives, and most of them you do not want to trade places with.It’s written so convincingly in the voice of a teenage girl that you almost forget it’s fiction… until you remember, oh right, this “teenage girl” is being terrorized by supernatural evil while also juggling high school and some extremely questionable life choices.There are moments that are genuinely funny (Laura’s petty comments about people in town had me chuckling in a “yep, small-town gossip” way), moments that are heartbreaking, and moments that made me want to throw the book across the room and burn sage immediately.It doesn’t read like a tie-in cash grab—it feels like an essential part of the Twin Peaks puzzle. The handwriting style, the way the entries grow darker and more frantic—it’s chilling and brilliant. It’s also a must-read if you want to understand why Laura’s death hit Twin Peaks like a train, and why Agent Cooper keeps staring into the middle distance looking sad.Fair warning: this is dark. If you’re expecting cherry pie and coffee vibes, this is more like stale coffee and a slice of despair pie. But if you want to truly get under the skin of Twin Peaks, it’s perfect.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Would read again, but probably with the lights on and a slice of actual cherry pie for comfort.

A perfect companion to Twin Peaks. But even on its own, it's an astoundingly powerful novel about a sweet young girl trying to live her life despite rampant abuse at home and from the surrounding community. I've read it many times. Laura Palmer is one of the most interesting characters ever conceived and I thank Jennifer Lynch on a daily basis for bringing her to life in such a vivid way.
