5.0 out of 5 starsMy Kind Of Book
By T. Peyton VINE VOICE on December 4, 2005
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
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 starsFunny and Sad
By P. Miller on December 8, 2005
Format: Hardcover
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsinspiring
By M. Stevens on December 8, 2005
Format: Hardcover
Frank Warren's compilation is the perfect physical manifestation of his website (postsecret.com). The book makes a great gift and addition to a personal library, particularly for those of us who are fascinated by the people around us. The project itself is a great undertaking and deserves the support.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn amazing insight into peoples lives.
By Bruce G. Wilson on December 11, 2005
Format: Hardcover
Like the site, the book somehow manages to evoke the feeling of not being alone - it's stunning to see people's secrets that they have finally decided to entrust to the entire World.

It has so obviously been a catharitc experience for people who have contributed.

Everyone I show it to recognises something of themselves in it.

I recomend it to the entire population - buy it, read it, contribute to the next one.

5.0 out of 5 starsThere's just something.....
By Travis Pelt on April 22, 2006
Format: Hardcover
My first thought was 'What an odd little book.' I continued to flip through the pages; the artwrok was in turns quirkily or eeriely funny to gut wrentchingly personal. Confessions from putting boogers in soup to being victimized are more hauntingly immediate by the illustrations than the actual words.

It is amazing how much you can sympathize with a stranger with only twenty words. Not to be sappy, but in each card a stranger reaveals something so pure and unique, you can almost envision their daily lives. And wonder about how to express your own secrets.

4.0 out of 5 starsCouldn't put it down
By OneGirlsOpinion on December 5, 2005
Format: Hardcover
I've been visiting the postsecret website for quite some time-eager to see the new posts every Monday morning. When I heard about the book I quickly ordered it. I read it in one sitting and plan on keeping it on my bookshelf to share with others. I'm all for coming out with a book on this subject - if the sale of the book keeps the website up and running (and pays for Frank Warren's time) then by all means, keep publishing the books! One note for the future, as others have said, it would be best to redesign the layout to not cut through the gutter of the book - and to also keep the postcards to scale.

I think the concept is original and being someone who has sent in secrets herself, I think it could be helping a lot of people in a theraputic way to share their secrets. Also, I'm so impressed with the general public's creativity in expressing their happiness, grief, depression and guarded thoughts in such a small format. Truly intriguing... this book is worth every penny.
