1: Perfect??!!
What do you get someone that has everything and can get anything? This book. I got it for my sister who buys whatever she wants (within reason of course) and so when she got this book for xmas last year, she couldnt put it down. This year I am following it up with the book's sequel and I know she'll love it!
I know some reviews were disappointed because the book was mostly just ones from the web site, but for someone that has never seen the web site... its perfect.

2: I love secrets!
This is a gorgeous book. I had no idea what it was going to be before I bought it but I love it! It is a little insight into what is going on in different peoples lives...

3: Post Secrets
I have read each of the post secret books and just love them. Highly entertaining!

4: I love PostSecret but.....
I love PostSecret and I love what Frank has done with the project. In a world where people are hated and looked down upon for being different, the website makes you realize that there's others out there just like you. With the same secrets as you. You feel connected to others.
With that said, I think Frank could have done a better job with his first book. I opened it thinking it was going to be full of secrets I haven't seen before but instead it was secrets that had already been posted on the site. 95% of them were repeats for me. For Frank to take something that I already saw for free and try to charge me to read them again I thought was a rip off. I'm glad I read it while sitting in a big comfy chair at Barnes and Noble. Don't buy the book but I urge others to keep visiting the website.

5: You can't resist picking this up
Finally, after having this on my wish list for forever, I finally bought it. This will be a great coffee table book. I loved the post card artwork and the layout of this book. This is more of an art book than a book meant for just revealing secrets. Don't let this deter you from reading it, though. While the words may be few, they can run the gammit of making you laugh out loud, to making you empathize, to making you cry. It's a powerful book. Both the postcard art and words are artwork in themselves. I think it's so interesting, it will be hard for anyone to resist taking it off your coffee table to flip through. I'm glad I bought it. Plus, someone slipped their own admission into the book I purchased, which I thought was pretty cool. (Gasp, I did not buy it from Amazon, although I recommend you do because I paid the full price for it at Barnes and Noble.)
