5.0 out of 5 stars My Kind Of Book, December 4, 2005
By T. Peyton (Central CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've been a fan of the PostSecret website for quite awhile. Its nice to have so many of the secrets, some of which I've seen before, in a book.
Read secrets out loud, to a friend: They're a great conversation piece. Read secrets alone: They will, by turns, make you laugh, cry and think.
The only thing I would change is that the postcards are enlarged, often taking a full page, or even two pages, of space. I would have preferred to see them closer to their actual size. You tend to lose the feeling that you're reading an actual postcard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and Sad, December 8, 2005
I read select postcard secrets out loud to a group of friends. Some of the secrets were hilariously funny. Others were very disturbing in that they revealed, long-held secrets of various abuses by and toward others, and the resulting expressions of anger, regret, guilt and sadness appeared all too often throughout the book. The boldness of people reaching out through this medium made me read their secrets with some measure of trepidation. No doubt, many readers will recognize themselves, their desires and longings, in the postcard writings. This visually-stimulating book should be a wake up call to everyone, that emotional mental health issues are inadequately addressed in our culture. The book is one step towards affirming that it's a positive and healing thing to get one's hidden issues "out there" and hopefully, examined. I don't get what all the fuss is over the layout. Maybe a larger size or format would have looked better, but then the book would've been more cumbersome to transport. The size is comfortably practical and the layout is fine, especially also since the postcards were grouped together with common themes. Works for me.
