The Secret History of Twin Peaks by Mark Frost

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this book... Let me explain - The Secret History of Twin Peaks is presented as a recovered "dossier" that was compiled by a mysterious author and is then annotated by an FBI agent investigating it. And on the surface it is fairly interesting for Twin Peaks fans but hardly essential. A good portion of it is dedicated to fleshing out the back story of some of the weirdness that goes on in the woods there... such as a long chapter about Lewis and Clark first arriving there and meeting the local Native Americans and another long digression into Roswell and UFO sightings in the area. Plus a very minor character from the show is given an extensive back story and is shown to be a major player in previous events in the area. SO that's all well and good. BUT for some reason there are inconsistencies between the events as explained in the book and as shown on television. The first major one I noticed was the story of how Big Ed and Nadine ended up together. Totally different in this book versus the show. And I thought it was weird how Norma's family history seemed to totally leave out that she had a sister. SO I looked this up online and found that everyone who reads it has found different inconsistencies. Someone even compiled a spreadsheet of them all!  Like the book says Norma's mom died a few years before the events on the show... but her mom was a character on the show! And the book says Windom Earle shot Cooper when in actuality he stabbed him. The list is so long it seems like they must have been on purpose. I mean the guy who wrote the book wrote most of the tv show... so something is going on...  So I'll give it a B- for now, but if later on if this all makes sense maybe I'll raise it. Also it mentions Charlotte's Web, Catch-22, The Stand, and To Kill a Mockingbird.
