if you're a postsecret enthusiast like myself.. or into seeing the dynamics of our widely different society at play - this is the book for you.
upon reading the secrets, expect to find yourself laughing, crying, and deep in thought as you contemplate the circumstances the author endured at the time of sending the secret to frank.
the first 90 pages or so have a high emphasis on god and related 'high being' subjects, but after this there is a whole host of secrets which cover all topics.
a true gem, just like the rest fo frank warrens books!

Another Incredible PostSecret Book
13 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover
I had the chance to experience the new PostSecret book last week while on the train with my girlfriend. It was the perfect way to spend the time and we both loved reading, sharing, laughing, and enjoying all of the secrets.
I think this new book takes the emotional aspects (all kinds: good, bad, funny, sad, thoughtful, etc.) to a whole new level. You can tell that the secrets were painstakingly chosen by Frank to give the reader an emotional roller coaster ride throughout.
As mentioned by other reviewers, there are more secrets than in previous books that touch on the subjects of religion and death, but it should be noted that there are secrets of all genres in this book (the term "life" in the title is rather broad I guess). I think it's a great mix, but what I really enjoy about this book is that I feel it causes the reader to reflect personally on the secrets more than in the previous releases. I felt that there were more secrets that made me think and wonder about my own life. And I think that's what makes PostSecret (and this book in particular) so powerful.
Although some of the reviews on here are very critical of the new size of the PostSecret book, I personally find that the "postcard" size is a positive departure from the other books. I feel like it allows the reader to focus in on each individual secret. Plus, there are no "blown up" secrets as in the other books which sometimes spread across the crease in the page. I think the small size gets the reader the same experience that you get when reading the secrets on the website each week (scrolling down one by one). Plus, I like the small size because it's a bit more portable...more "sharable" if you will. It's true that the vertical secrets forces the reader to "turn" the book, but I wasn't distracted one bit by this feature and actually enjoyed it. When there are vertical secrets, there are usually 4 or 5 pages in a row so that you can continue in the same direction for a while.
Overall, this book is another great addition to the PostSecret family and won't disappoint even the most critical of PostSecret fans.

Good postsecret, but quite small
10 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover
As someone else said, this book is a little bigger than the size of a postcard. That wouldn't have bothered me if wasn't priced the same as the other books twice its size. I don't think this should have cost $23. Anyway, it did have some good, juicy secrets. Someone said they were all about religion, death and love, but there were some others sprinkled here and there that didn't completely fit into those categories. At least I thought so. This book is worthwhile, but you might want to wait until it's on the sale rack to buy it.

So small!!
12 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was hugely disappointed when I received this book in the mail. It is half the size of the previous books, with only one secret per page. Also, there are a few postcards that still have the mail tag thing covering up some of the words!! AAH! Other than that, there are some great secrets in this one, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading (and re-reading) it.
