It gives voice to a character that was merely an object in the series and even helps to make the confusing Fire Walk With Me a little easier to understand. The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer is without a doubt the most essential of all the Twin Peaks books. While the book is clearly set in the world of Twin Peaks, it could also be read as a standalone book for anyone who has dealt with great evil in their lives. You can also read it as Laura using the image of BOB to hide the knowledge that her own father is raping her.īOB can also be read as critique on society at large, how men can sexualize young women and then demonize them for it.

We only ever heard a few scant entries from it and it was a rare chance to hear Laura Palmer in her own words instead of what others thought about her. It was the one given to Harold Smith that ultimately led to his death.
