This is a wonderful tie-in to the whole "Twin Peaks" mythos. The book is written in the style of a transcript of tapes that Dale Cooper made throughout his life - from childhood, through the initial Windham Earl affair, and ending with the call for Cooper to head to Twin Peaks. (Oddly enough, that's where "Diane..." the audiobook picks up.) Author Scott Frost (brother of Mark Frost, co-creator of "Twin Peaks" with David Lynch) captures the quirky nature of Dale Cooper and the Twin Peaks universe perfectly. From amusing anecdotes in childhood to experiments in college (seeing how long he can go without sleep, without urinating) and beyond, "My Life, My Tapes" helps fill in the unknown quantities of the enigmatic Dale Cooper. If you're a "Twin Peaks" fan who hasn't found a copy of this book yet, I encourage you to do so. It is a wonderful read.

This book is a must have for all the fans of Agent Dale Cooper. The book came in excellent condition, and I have read it several times since purchasing it!

Just finding out a little about the "Diane" that Dale Cooper continually speaks to in his tapes is enough motivation to read this book. But beyond that, here in this companion volume to the "Twin Peaks" TV show you meet a young boy, long before Diane is hired as his assistant or he even joins the FBI. You see the loss of his mother, the bond with his father (and even a little influence from the elder to the younger), and the inquisitive, quirky nature that is fed by his constant yearning to learn. I think the author did a great job of providing a completely plausible back story for this captivating character. There's a little issue with continuity at the end (1989 vs. 1990, for instance), but besides that, a nicely done book.

I bought this book when I was in eight grade and I connected with it instantly. I'm 24 now and it is still as touching as it was then. I really feel for dale coopers's character. He has so much go wrong and yet he keeps his inocent perspective on the turbulent world around him. This my sound lame, but I think this is a truly great coming of age story.

Dale Cooper, How could someone like this write spmething like this? it's beyond me. Dale's life seems to much for anyone but he managed to keep himself together. His closest friends and family all desert him one way or another yet somehow he keeps his head up. I was so amazed by this book and this life thatI am in the process of writing a dramatic script to coinside with it. This book is someone's life this should be shared with everyone.
