oh laura.......
i felt the quality was stronger in the first half or so than the latter part but still a fascinating exploration of trauma and an excellent little horror novel

I wanted to like this book more than I did. As a hardcore Twin Peaks fan I thought I'd enjoy this deep look into the character the show really revolved around, but the subject matter was simply too much at times.Imagine Lolita without any of the subtlety. The book seemed to lose its point in trying to be too edgy and I felt like it only captured the Laura Palmer of FWWM and the show in bits and pieces. Even though it is supposedly canonical to the series and movie, it has major discrepancies between them that along with the dark subject matter annoyed me. Plus the charm of Twin Peaks seemed lost, rather than endearing me more to Laura's struggle it just made her and the other characters seem monstrous. Generally a bit blech. As a fan, if you're a fan and think you can make it through might as well read it but be warned it's a disappointment.
