    Amazing Idea

    I really wish I would have thought of this idea first.
    Although this isn't a novel, and there aren't alot of things to actually read in this book, it is so powerful. To know that people took the time to make the postcards and send them to a complete stranger is amazing. While looking at and reading the postcards in this part of Frank Warren's postcard books, I couldn't help but try to see what the people looked like that would be sending them in. It could be anyone, and that's the beauty of this book. The people that sent in postcards should be proud of themselves!

    I liked Frank Warren's first book very much and I was hoping that this one will be at least as good as the first one. I am very pleased with his choice of really never before seen postcards that will make you laugh, sigh, and maybe even cry. There is so much power in the simple, yet so difficult act of sharing a personal secret with other people. Probably this is one of the reasons for the huge success of this project. My latest secret is the bestseller scientifically guaranteed male multiple orgasms and ultimate sex. I am sure that everyone who has enjoyed the first book will enjoy this one as well. I hope that Frank will continue maintaining his blog and the planned books will be also interesting and thrilling as his first two. Maybe we all should learn from these books that it is not that bad to share secrets with others. In conclusion, if you want to take a look at something refreshing and unique than you will want to take a copy of this book.

    Do you have a secret? I bet you do. I know I do....and so do all those people who sent in the postcards in this book.
    If you have not already heard of postsecret, its a great program started by Frank Warren. Its simple - take a postcard, write you secret on it, and send it to him. No one knows you wrote it, and it lets you express yourself and get that secret out there.
    I recommend everyone read these books to laugh, cry and experience the emotions these anonymous people have.
    Sent in a secret yourself? Maybe its in this book.
    Check out www.postsecret.com every Sunday for new secrets. You never know what new heartbreaks or great stories you will read about every week.
    The ONE problem with this book? Its too short.
