Customer Reviews

Reading secrets...

I really enjoyed reading this book. I suppose the voyeur in me liked reading about the secrets of others. It made me want to make a list of things I could contribute to a second edition. I'm relieved to have not had much material to share.

Good assortment of secrets

My only problem is that I read these books too fast. Also, I was under the impression at the time of purchase that it was one i the series of postsecret books. It was not. Still very interesting, though.

Great fun

It goes from damn funny to damn tragic in a heartbeat. I really enjoyed this collection of anonymous confessions. It's an interesting snapshot of our times, our morals and our behaviors. It made me think and giggle at the same time, what could be better?

Hilarious, pathetic and just plain perverted

I am proud to say I've been visiting notproud.com since it came out in 2000, and was pretty excited about getting this new collection. I actually have their original book from 2003 which was only available online (I think..) and appears sold out. There are repeated confessions from the earlier one (including the one that explains the green skittle on the front, hehe), but there are a lot of great new ones that would take you a million years to find on the actual site. There's a lot of other online confession sites out there now, but IMO there's always been something about the starkness of notproud.com where there are no casino ads and bloggy chatter that just gets the juiciest, most honest confessions out of people. It's like a sacred space, where people admit unholy things. Anyway, what can I say - i'm a fan! Oh yeah, part of the fun for me is going through the book to see if one of my own online confessions made it in. No luck so far, but I like to think maybe I'll be naughty enough next time!

FUN

What a great read, thier's not many books that you go to work and talk about it like It's a great movie you just saw or join everybody at the water cooler and talk about it like it was a episode of friends.Pure fun.
