Amazon.com Review
At the beginning of 2005, Frank Warren launched a new blog called PostSecret as an experiment in community art, inviting strangers to mail him anonymous postcards that made art out of their innermost secrets and then posting a selection of the cards every week on his blog. Within a year, his blog was one of the five most popular in the world, and his first book, PostSecret, was one of the surprise bestsellers of 2005. My Secret is his second book, a collection of cards from teens and college students--none of which has been shown on the website--that carries the same emotional power and creativity that have made Warren's project a phenomenon. We are featuring seven postcards from the book here: see two of them on this page, and click on the numbers below to see five more. | Click on the numbers below to see five more postcards from My Secret | | [ 1 ] | [ 2 ] | [ 3 ] | [ 4 ] | [ 5 ] |
Product Description
Postsecret.com founder Frank Warren is back with a fresh and compelling companion to his wildly popular Los Angeles Times bestseller, PostSecret. For My Secret, a collectible, paper-over-board book that includes a page of vibrant, decorative stickers, Warren has personally selected never-before-seen anonymous postcards created by teens and college students from across the country. Each card bears an intimate and powerful secret—at turns inspirational, shocking, hilarious, and poetic—that is told through original illustrations, photographs, collages, and other creative means. Sample messages include: * "I am avoiding you because you are socially below me." * "I know the truth to the lie my parents tell... " * "My friends think I was homeschooled. I spent high school in juvi." A unique and important book that will appeal to both young adults and their parents, My Secret offers a raw and revealing glimpse into the real lives of today's teens and twentysomethings. Choosing their own handmade postcards over email or text messages, teens and college students express their hopes, fears, and wildest confessions in a way that truly represents their diverse personalities and voices.

not your typical book September 19, 2009

My Secret by Frank Warren isn't a typical book. Instead it falls more into the category of art or coffee table book and generally isn't something that one reads from cover to cover. I have picked up this book many different times when in various bookstores and have flipped through it bit by bit. Until finally I decided to just buy it and flip through it at my leisure. Instead when I got home I started opened it to the first page and I didn't stop turning until I hit the back cover.
Inside this book were the secrets of many different people from all walks of life. Some secrets made me laugh and others nearly brought tears to my eyes. The postcards also filled me with hope that maybe things aren't always as bad as they seem. That maybe things are really better then I had initially thought. I am also filled with admiration every time I read someone else's secret. It takes a lot of courage to not only admit a secret to oneself....but to write it down....and then mail it.

 Good but not great. July 7, 2009

This was just like the others but i was disappointed in the appearance of it. It was very middle school like with the stickers. The hard back sister copies are much better.
 Great May 17, 2009

This book is part of an amazing inspirational collection of books by Frank Warren. I do think every person in the world needs to read these book. I can personally guarantee you will never feel as connected to so many people. It was a fantastic way of seeing how other students and teenager felt about the world and the secrets they all hold deep inside.
I gifted this to a friend who really appreciated it. She enjoyed the book and talks about it all the time. She lets her friends borrow it and the school and local library are all out. People can't get enough of this book. It brought my friend and I closer together as she was able to relate to my secret that I left in the book for her to find. She Mailed it and we cried. It was one of the most freeing moments of my life.
Love this Book and Author May 4, 2009
