Advantages: Full of interesting, shocking and humourous real life secrets

Disadvantages: Could be viewed as self indulgent or 'emo'

Five years ago I was sent the link to the website www.postsecret.blogspot.com by a friend and although over these 5 years I've lost touch with the friend I've never stopped checking post secret (althought it's changed a lot over that time.)

Frank Warren (the projects created) created the site for strangers to create and post anon postcards containing their darkest secrets. Each Sunday he posts new ones, they can shock me, they can make me laugh and some are even scarily on the head. But every week there's a least one or two I save to my file in order to look back on.

This book is a printed collage of secrets unpublished on the website. It's a beautiful collection of original art work and secrets, a true insight into the human pysche. When I first discovered Post Secret it was before it had become as popular is it is now, as a result I sometimes feel that some of the secrets now posted online are solely created to be posted online rather than sent in as part of a healing process. A secret shared is a burden shared, even if done anon.

This book is worth a purchase even just as a coffee table book, it's pretty to look at and an interesting conversation piece.

Summary: Check out the website, if you enjoy it then you'll enjoy the book.
