4.0 out of 5 stars Really heartwarming, 12 April 2007
By Sam J. Ruddock (Norwich, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Absolute beautiful, Postsecret is everything that is great about the internet. What started in 2004 with a few postcards inviting people to contribute a personal secret to a community art project soon grew into an internationally popular website with more than 3 million hits a week. This book is a reproduction of some of those postcards which have made the website such a joy.
Each of them is a work of art and a glimpse into the mind of a stranger. The scope of the secrets range from childhood confession to criminal guilt, and in each of them one can discern a considerable cathartic experience. Open the book at any point and you will find something to make you laugh or think about or even cry. One reads, "I envy the willpower of anorexics." Another, "Sometimes I put coins in people's parking meters." Another, "For the first time since I was a baby I am finally happy. I am 28"
Here is everything it means to be human combined into hundreds of brief, artistic portraits of long held secrets. A very special book indeed. A coffee-table book which will have everyone who opens it engrossed. If you don't believe me, visit www.postsecret.blogspot.com and see for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Postsecret book, 29 Oct 2006
By S. Hudson (Leicestershire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had this book sent to me from amazon.com when it first came out in America. As soon as i found out there was to be a book i had to buy a copy of it. If you have ever seen the website at www.postsecret.com (it links you to the blogspot) then you'll know what this book is going to be all about. When i see these postcards that people have sent in to Frank, i really start to relate to some of the cards. To be honest, when you are struggling with a problem and you see the exact thing that you are thinking about as a postsecret you realize that you are not alone in dealing with problems. I recieved the book and it is excellent. Well worth the money. After reading through it and lending it to a friend, who has now shared it with her friends i decided that i should get a couple more copies for other friends. This led to me buying two more copies of this book as well as pre ordering copies of the next two books. It's the kind of book that you can bring out when your with a group if friends and just all sit in silence, totally absorbed by the book untl someone relates to one of the cards and then you all share your feelings. It is an excellent book and i would advise you all to buy at least one copy for yourselves if not buy others for your friends.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful , 4 Jan 2007
This is a fabulous book that contains some really quite 'extraordinary confessions', some quite heartfelt, others comical and some I'm sure we can all relate to. Also many of the postcards are very well designed,thoughtful in their use of imagery and type. It's an on going project so you can check out some of the kind of postcards you can expect to see at postsecret.blogspot.com.
