Very cute and extremely fast book, a nice message to be more honest with yourself and people in your life
so good! simple concept, but so interesting. post cards with secrets. fast read, but one you can go back to. i can't wait to read his other postcard collections. don't expect a novel or a short story. almost like a book of quotes. walking down the street and reading people's minds.
What a voyeuristic pleasure--although some of the content was depressing. Made me think...
Such an interesting book to look at. People's secrets from the seemingly mundane to the exotic to the downright weird. Secret desires, the crazy things people believed as children, crimes people have committed, adultery, and endearing quirks. Page after page of things people don't want to admit to their friends and family, so they've put them on a postcard and sent them to Frank Warren instead.
This book combined my love for secrets with short facts about people I don't even know.
Really made me want to send in my own postcard(s). It's just so raw and a great idea for some meaningful therapy without exposing everything.
Just read it---be ready for some REAL honesty---nothing censored.

PostSecret is a beautiful piece of art that is delves into the depths of who we are. I think it is an excellent book for readers all ages though some of the content is fairly graphic. Young Adults will be especially drawn to it because being a teenager often feels like being alone or being the only one that feels something or has experienced something. When YA readers pick up this book they will see that what they feel is at once unique and also universal. As Warren points out no secret is identical but at the same time there are some we see ourselves in. Some are heart wrenching, some cruel and others silly. There is an appeal to having them be anything you want them to be as long as they are secret. Some are so elaborate and others so simple but each are beautiful in their own way. These postcards are therapeutic to both create and read because they set something free in the reader and everyone can appreciate that. I really loved looking at the secrets especially the sad ones which makes me wonder about myself. I also now have an incredible urge to create one.
I love all the Postsecret books and the website too. I've read this multiple times and find that different secrets hit home with each re-reading. I also love that since I bought it from a bookstore, there were a couple secrets customers had tucked into the pages.
