Resumen del Editor

Lifeless and wrapped in plastic. This is how Sheryl Lee was first introduced as "Laura Palmer" in the cult television classic, Twin Peaks. Now, Sheryl returns to voice Laura's darkest secrets in the audiobook event that fans of the show have long awaited. Commissioned by series creators Mark Frost and David Lynch and written by Lynch's daughter, Jennifer - who was told she was one of "three air breathing mammals to know the identity of Laura's killer" - The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer became an integral part of the Twin Peaks canon.

The diary chronicles Laura's life from age 12 to her death at 17 and provides a harrowing backstory to the event that set the entire series in motion. In intimate diary entries, Laura goes from a happy and naïve tween to a tormented soul posing behind the phony smile of homecoming queen. Plagued by visions of a creepy man with long hair - a demonic presence she comes to know as "BOB" - Laura falls into a world of drug addiction, sexual promiscuity, and prostitution to escape. But as she's swallowed deeper and deeper into the abyss, Laura is forced to question the reality of who and what BOB really is.

With hidden Easter eggs, glimpses at the origins of principal characters, and clues to the identity of her eventual killer, The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer is required listening for diehard fans of the original show, and essential background for the 2017 revival.

I love Twin Peaks!!!

As a fan of Twin Peaks and being so excited about the news season it was a special treat to listen to "The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer" read by the voice of Laura Palmer Sheryl Lee. I really loved it and if you are a fan of the show, you will love it too.

Laura Palmer.

I have watched the first 2 seasons of twin peaks and didn't really know Laura Palmer. I think I still don't know Laura Palmer. But the book was interesting and I liked it.

Sheryl Lee back in her greatest role!

Twin Peaks fans rejoice! While Sheryl Lee obviously didn't record this as young as she was when she originally starred in this iconic role it's still a delight to hear he voice in the diaries. No one else could have pulled this off. If you're a Twin Peaks fan then this is a must read. If not, then move along, it really is meant solely for Peakers. #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

Traumatizing, surreal listening experience

Sheryl Lee should've won awards for her performance with this audiobook. We finally get to hear Laura Palmer's thoughts in this absolutely bone chilling diary. The traumatizing imagery and Sheryl's BOB impressions are hands-down one of the creepiest things I've ever heard. I would HIGHLY recommend this audiobook to any Twins Peaks fan!

The Secret Diary We've All Been Wanting To Read.

A Tremendous performance made by the always wonderful Sheryl Lee with the addition of the powerful writing of Jennifer Lynch.

Gripping, Emotional, Captivating!

I am an avid Twin Peaks fan, and this was everything I needed!! The book was gut-wrenching and raw as Sheryl Lee takes you through Laura's diary piece by piece. It filled in a lot of gaps from the show, and it gives even more depth to Laura's complex and mysterious character. It's a must-listen for any Twin Peaks fans out there.

Whoa

Not at all what I expected. Things get dark very quick and it gets even darker/worse for LP throughout the entries.

The diary is often disturbing, but always intriguing. Really makes moments in the show click or make more sense

It’s a must listen for the TP fan

Better than the show

A lot of successful shows and movies generate spin-off material. Usually these are sub-par cash-ins by contract writers with no affinity for the original material. Not so here.

Jennifer Lynch delivered a devastating insight into the character and background of Laura Palmer, in a way which the uneven, writer's room style of the show (for all its great moments) failed to do. Although this book was written between seasons one and two of the show (and therefore before the denouement of the primary storyline), it has echoes that clearly informed the (relatively few) good moments of the second season, but more importantly, undeniably and dramatically shaped the film Fire, Walk with Me. Jennifer Lynch's writing here convincingly gets into the mindset of the teenaged, yet prematurely adult, Laura, and presents her story, not in a traditional cause and effect narrative, but rather as a realistic portrayal of what the fractured diary of this vividly imagined character might have been. Tonal variations are carefully curated to underscore the many moods that Laura's character experiences in her tragic journey. The final effect is truly elegiac.

As if the above was not enough of a recommendation, I can honestly say that Sheryl Lee's performance is the best reading of an audiobook that I have ever heard. Twenty-nine years after the book was published, and twenty-seven years after her harrowing and massively overlooked performance in Fire, Walk With Me, Sheryl Lee seems to slip effortlessly back into the role that captured the popular imagination and should have won her the Oscar for Best Actress in 1992 (no offence intended to the great Jodie Foster, or any of the other nominees).

If you have any affinity for the work of David Lynch, or of Twin Peaks or its world, you owe it to yourself to listen to this incredible performance of this truly great book.

Twin Peaks Fan Must! Great to hear Laura Palmer reading it!

Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer) reading this/her diary gives it that much more authenticity. I like how the setup has chapters if looking for something specific (like the poem in Ch. 22). This was very well written, as expected, since the mad genius, David Lynch, had his own daughter write it. It’s dark, strangely fascinating, and all that Twin Peaks ever was.
