Well, the title “The Secret” really aligns with the effectiveness of the cover. The author and publisher obviously intend to keep the subject matter of the book a secret from the rest of us.
The only thing the title suggests is that the story takes place some time in the past, since there is old parchment and a wax seal. The handwritten font also suggests days of yore.
That’s all they give us. It’s a literary equivalent of those little mystery boxes they sell in toy stores.
Well, Rhonda Byrnes, I’ll let you in on a little secret of my own… I have no interest in reading this book.
WILD GUESS: It’s about some secret from centuries past that are revealed in present day. Maybe some common dude discovers he’s descended from royalty. That’s all I got.
NOTE: The title is so enigmatic, we originally listed this as fiction. Turns out, it’s a self-help book. Sheesh.
