Review of THE ECONOMIST
This is the most accurate geo-political and socio-economic English-language news-weekly there is. Period. Articles are succinct, top-notch, and cover everything from the world today to business, economics to the environment. I do think the magazine tends to focus a bit too little on the environment and religion, but that is my perception. Despite the editorial style and very sophisticated diction, articles are still easy to understand. True, this magazine (or newspaper, as it calls itself) is staunchly pro-democracy (i.e. broadly speaking, anti-Russian policy, anti-Chinese policy in their respective conflicts, say, over Georgia or Taiwan, and pro-war on the Iraq issue), pro-free trade, and pro-European (i.e. for the expansion of the EU). But it takes many conservative and liberatarian positions, too, and oftentimes even liberal ones, which, overall, makes the magazine fairly objective - you'll usually get all or most of the points-of-view after reading just a few articles on the same subject, although the Economist usually does imply, or sometimes downright state, which position it takes or the world must take. Actually that's the best part: it is very refreshing to have a magazine that is not afraid to share its opinion and offer its advice to readers, hence its influence. This, for me, is the icing on the cake.
"I used to think. Now I just read The Economist"
This is how Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, described his impression of the magazine. Although a little overhyped, I could'nt put it more succintly. It makes you think and makes you laugh. Read it!

Diverse, Compact, And Fair.
This is not solely a magazine for financial news. Writers from various points of view give the reader a great depth of research in their reporting. Precise coverage on current events, science, law, medicine, economics, politics, and technological news that you will not find anywhere else. I would say the thrust of the magazine is "libertarian light." It is simply the best news source in the English speaking world. ... Read more

Fun read
This is a fun read.The articles are entertaining and short.Good to pass some time.Excellent for the plane!

Wonderful Magazine
People is a weekly American magazine of celebrity and human interest stories,the magazine runs a roughly mix of celebrity and human interest stories,People is perhaps best known for its yearly special issues naming "The 50 Most Beautiful People", "The Best and Worst Dressed", and "The Sexiest Man Alive".Ithink people magazine is a wonderful magazine because I can keep in touch on what is happy to the actors and actress. What the good movies are that are good for me to watch. I think ya'll do a good job with the magazine. It is worth reading every time I get it.People also includes reviews of new books, cds and movies.
Enjoyable
An interesting and enjoyable magazine if you like reading about celebs. If not: This is not the magazine for you. Very rarely will you see someone on the cover of people for being involved in politics or saving someone's life or whatever. Instead you'll learn about Branjelina's baby, the ongoing divorce struggles of Jess and Nick, and other such stuff. But I am not condemming the magazine; I myself enjoy sitting down with it every week and would reccommend it to you. ... Read more

People is the best
I've been buying this magazine since it first came out. I let my subscription lapse for a few months and sure missed getting People in the mail on Fridays. It's back and I'm glad!!

Same old song and dance
I echo the same gripe that other reviewers have voiced here: The magazine covers the same handful of people week after week after boring week.How many times is a reader going to see no talents such as Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, the Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes joke, and THE most overrated, overhyped people of all time Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the cover and not get tired of it?
Tinsel talk
Once years ago 'People' would have, if I am not mistaken , articles on people outside the worlds of glitz and tinsel. Now it seems to have degenerated into another kind of low- pop-culture mag which belongs to what Mencken called 'the booboisie'.

Has Seen Much Better Days
I used to really like US magazine. I have been collecting every issue each week for several years now. But wait! Has anyone else noticed that this magazine has drastically changed since the beginning of this year? Where are all the interesting articles and info on the celebrities, movies and music? There's no more than a thumbnail's sketch of info on anything now. It's all photos and quickie hype. It has no more substance. What happened to this good magazine?

Delivery Problems!
Why is it that Us Weekly can't get a copy to me weekly?Sometimes three weeks will go by without an issue.Then I'll receive three in one week.Us Weekly assures me that everything is normal and that they ship them just as soon they come off the printing presses.I'm not buying their story or the magazine again.

US Weekly - The Best Celebrity Gossip Magazine
As an avid gossip lover and big-time magazine reader, I whole-heartedly recommend US Weekly as the best magazine subscription you will buy this year.As a woman in her twenties who subscribes to all of the celebrity magazines, I would have to say that US Weekly is hands down the most entertaining magazine of them all.They have the most up to date photos, pretty accurate stories, and entertaining staff writers.Their weekly columns on "Who Wore It Best" and "Fashion Police" are laugh out loud funny.

Bread and Butter
The new yorker was love at first site for me - I saw it on a friend's coffee table and I was drawn in intially by the photography and the intelligence of the writing.People always refer to the "Tina Brown ERA" as if it was a total disaster...but I disagree...perhaps because it coincided with my mid to late 20's, shortly after I first started subscribing to the magazine, when I needed culture as much as I needed knowlege. I thought TB added some sparkle to the nerdy publication - I loved the photo essays, and the women's profiles - I remember reading about Elizabeth Dole and Hilary Clinton, etc.Tina Brown got me hooked.David Remnick kept me going on a more nutritious and wordy diet. I do read it every week - skim, remove cards, read comics, check out the articles, go back to read the ones that are interesting.I have no idea why people would feel that they have to live in NYC to benefit.

you don't have to be a New Yorker to love it, but it helps
I was introduced to the New Yorker when I first arrived at grad school--and have been an avid fan ever since.You don't have to live in NY to love this magazine! Its articles, stories, cartoons, poems and commentary never fail to turn a cup of tea on an afternoon break into something more--like being invited to engage with the clever minds of our day. If you are no longer in school, staying well informed in this way is priceless.There are insights here that appeal to our need to be reading something with style so thoroughly that they make you wish your busier friends had enough time to discuss some of the controversial or witty contents with you.The cutting edge reporting is unparallelled in "literary" magazines of this sort.I will never forget the provocative articles on low energy radiation and cancer that caused such a stir in the late 80's, when people began exposing themselves tocomputers on a regular basis.The New Yorker is a gem.Picking up a copy is like fine dining in an era of junk food.Treasure it.

almost forgot to mention the cool covers
The New Yorker is both a blessing and a curse for me.It's a great magazine, but sometimes I feel so compelled to keep up with my weekly New Yorkers that I find it feeling like a burden.

Entertainment Weekly
I love this magazine and I look forward to getting it in the mail every single week, unless if the last one was a double issue. Then I have to wait another whole week, which can sometimes be painful. I love the reviews and the magazine is funny, fresh and it keeps me up to date on movies, TV, music, and DVDs.

what guys think about

Why it is still a great investment
Men's Health is one of the most popular men's magazines because it meets the various expectations and needs of the modern man. You simply have to know about fitness, dieting, supplements, fashion, gadgets, etc. The annual subscription makes it a bargain and you get so much information for a few bucks. One of the most interesting sections is the one dedicated to bedroom activities. The tips are definitely useful and yet I highly recommend in addition the bestseller "scientifically guaranteed male multiple orgasms and ultimate sex" for the latest secrets in this area. Another key feature of the magazine is that it motivates you to stay healthy, lean and fit. There are weight loss tips, advice on how to eat and exercise in order to see results fast. This is important part of keeping sharp appearance. Overall, I can reasonably say that you will learn a lot, have fun reading it and most probably it will help you up to a certain limit to be a good looking man and great lover.

Was More Consistent A Couple Of Years Ago.
This magazine offers plenty for its readers. Various advice on career issues, fitness, financial planning, sex, nutrition, style, weight loss, time management, and even recipes. It is clearly accessible and brief in its execution. Which is fine, since life can get rather hectic nowadays. It is somewhat similar to "Mens Journal." But, with far more attention on health and fitness. I deduct 1 star because it was better written in the past. Still, it is the best mens magazine available today. ... Read more

Best fashion magazine available
This is the best fashion magazine on the market.Very realistic with budgets too.It shows different ways in which everyone can be fashionable (on any budget).I also enjoy the beauty articles because they have original ideas to stay in style and keep your skin looking beaufiful.

InStyle magazine takes its readers into the lives of celebrities and makes them accessible. The features are very informative and fun. I enjoy the Man of Style feature and the Entertaining guide best! For more on mags, visit my blog at magazinediva.typepad.com.

Longstanding, veritable classic!Incredible articles
What positives can one say about 'National Geographic' magazine that hasn't been said already.'NG' is an American institution that appeals to individuals with a thirst for multi-culturalism, science, and sociology.And the photography is stunning to say the least.It is often said that 'the best education' is to travel far and wide and see how other cultures live and think.Since this isn't practical for many, the next best thing is to read 'National Geographic' magazine!In addition, the fairly recent cover article on 'Evolution' was well written, convincing, and accurate!And to the myopic reviewer below who thinks that the world revolves around her, and who mentioned is not into Soccer, I say this to her:most of the world loves Soccer (technically called Football), and all the NFL, MLB, and NBA fans COMBINED don't even come close to the combined numbers of Soccer fans worldwide!I am a subscriber for life.

Great, getting a little 'out there'
I've been a subscriber for over fifteen years, and will probably continue to subscribe until the day I die. But at times I find National Geographic frustrating. I have no interest in Soccer, nor do I want a huge fold-out map discussing the sport. Aren't there more phenomenal things going on in the world today? Also, Geographic does have its pet topics.
excellent magazine for lay people
National Geographic Magazine is written primarily for theperson with little or no background in Geography. It is not an intense scholarly magazine and , as a Geograohy professor pointed out, tends to be chatty. But, it does give great information on geopgraphy as well as other fields in the Social Sciences even Natural History. There are many articles about people and places around the world and their customs. There are articles on the latest explorations and discoveries. Such as the rediscovery of the Gnostic Gospel of Judas and the oldest tatooed mummy.Zip USA takes a single US Zip Code and describes the customs and practices of the people living within that zip code. There are many interesting articles about people and places in the United States.

Step back from the cover Oprah
Regardless of the quality of the magazine, it is really annoying to see Oprah on every single cover! and to make it worst, she does not pick "regular Oprah shots", instead you look at every issue's front cover and ask yourself "How did they take that picture? She doesn't even look like her!" It's as if Oprah is telling all of us "See how I can look like?" Every month is just a new testimony from Oprah, that money does do wonders.
Every home could own this magazine
As an author I find Oprah's magazine to be the most inspirational any human being could use to start their month."Divorcing a wife because you can not be all she needs is a very loving act.Everyone deserves intimacy-emotional and physical.If a gay or bisexual man loves his wife, her happiness will be more important to him than his own.Setting her free to allow her the opportunity to be loved as she deserves to be, is the ultimate expression of love." Dennis J. Schleicher
I love the show but the magazine...
I love Oprah and her show ut the magazine is SOOOOOO full of advertisements that it has lost me a bit.There is not much content to the magazine.If you aren't interested in the few main articles that month.There is not much there. ... Read more

Liked it when she got it
Ordered my wife a subscription last christmas.
Used to be the best
About two years ago, Vanity Fair was not only the best magazine of the year, but maybe all time.I would read it from cover to cover.
One of the better glossy magazines out there in the world of make believe
I don't normally like glossy magazines that think too much of themselves, I think that they were invented to be dumped on coffee tables to look good when you have visitors around for coffee but if you want a really good and intelligent read, buy TIME or Newsweek.

Excellent
I started a subscription for my granddaughter, now four, a couple years ago.She loves animals, and loves Your Big Backyard.Goes through it from cover to cover.I'd highly recommend it.

Excellent
This is an excellent nature magazine. It is exactly what it looks like - a magazine about the world and the animals in it. There is an ongoing hunt for the little bird and other little animal that are hidden in the magazine each month. It is a fun magazine with drawings by children, cute pictures and posters, stories, information and more.
Great pub/Not so great service
I bought a subscription for my son some nine months ago, comfortable with an earlier review that indicated that when it was time to move to Ranger Rick (at 7 years), the customer was assured that they could apply any unused Big Backyard to the Ranger Rick subscription. Well, my son is clearly ready to move on from Your Big Backyard to Ranger Rick, but the magazine fulfillment service referred me to Amazon and Amazon told me they do not provide this service. It's not grave and I only have three months left of this subscription, but it's disappointing nonetheless. ... Read more

God Bless This Magazine
After 14 days in Italy with nothing but Pizza-Pasta, Pasta-Pizza, thang God for this magazine jam packed with lovely light and lightening recipes and ideas. This mag is a blessing!

Magazine for Healthy Living
I'll agree with everyone else and say that this magazine probably does need a new name. However, I love all the other features in the magazine! It is Cooking Light, but there is so much more - always an article on a travel destination, an article on beauty, and an article on a sport, as well as other constants. The theme of the magazine is total healthy living, incorporating health issues and exercise as well as healthy food, though I do think that it is mostly a food magazine. I gave it four stars because while the recipies do look good, some of the ingredients are a bit too sophisticated for everyday and too expensive.

Needs a new name
The recipes included are good, but this is not a "cooking" magazine. This is a women's fitness magazine in disguise. While I am all for a magazine that focuses on overall health and fitness, it shouldn't advertise itself as a cooking magazine. There is way too much other junk. If I wanted a makeover or an exercise routine, I don't expect to go to my cooking magazine to get that. ... Read more

Top quality photos, interesting editorials
My husband likes this magazine a lot and that's why I came to renew his subscription. If there is one thing I surely know that's no woman can be everything for a man year after year! I definitely don't have the "eyes", legs, etc of the hot babes in every issue. However, I am both a smart woman and wife and I know that men need such eye candies. I have an idea about a few other men's magazines but I haven't seen in them better photos which don't expose the "naughty bits" of the models. They are really very stylish and professional. That's why I feel comfortable to see Maxim in my hubby's hands.
One of my favourite magazines
Yes, I know it's weird that I like reading Maxim. But Maxim has inspired me of doing my job. I'm glad that Amazon sell its subscription.
Advertising?????
When this mag first came out I thought it would be another mindless T&A mag. I was surprised to find that it actually had some readable and informative articles. Even this lass found the male oriented humor funny. But, now it has sadly become "Playboy lite." The pictures are too glossy, they have fewer articles, and 60% of it is advertising. When they go back to a more moderate middle groud I will try it again. ... Read more

One-less-thing-to-worry-about-educational-material
Our Ranger Rick issues are used first as reading material, then discussion material, then project material (cut-outs, etc) then recycling to neighbors who enjoy them just as much.Tear out posters line my son's walls. There is no objectionable material in the magazine, just wholesome, fun reading.No political agenda is discernable from it, which is refreshing. As soon as it comes in the mail, my 10 year old insists on sitting right down and reading the whole thing through.The knowledge the magazine imparts carries over into the school day, where his teacher is amazed at his recall and knowledge.

Great for those between 7 & 11
What kind of magazine can you get for that age in between? To old for the "Highlights" or other kids mags and still to young (girls anyway) for Seventeen, Teen People or Young Miss...RANGER RICK!! My daughter is 10 and just LOVES Ranger Rick. She has a great love of nature and wildlife and this just fuels her curiosity. Filled with outstanding pictures, fun facts and great information, she enjoys it all! Highly Recommend for a gift when your not sure what to get!

A great magazine
This is an excellent magazine. My young son has been recieving this magazine and has enjoyed it every month.

WHY?
WHY is almost everybody giving NG Kids a bad review?
Why buy the magazine when you can watch ads on T.V. for free?
...because that's all this magazine is: an advertising vehicle aimed at kids who aren't old enough to discriminate between ads and actual content yet.
Too Many Ads, Poor Content
My family received this magazine for years, but recently we have decided not to re-new our subscription. This used to be a quality product but it has recently gone downhill with the inclusion of more and more advertising in each issue. At this point, nearly half of the magazine consists of advertisements--this isn't the real science magazine it claims to be, and is a waste of money.

This mag deserves a sixth star!!!
I have been getting this magazine for over six years now and just love it more every issue I get! Though it's listed for kids ages 9-14, the readers love it so much they take it to college!!! I highly recomend this mag for anyone who loves science and has a creative and inquisitive mind.

Sophisticated stuff, interesting for kids
If I listed the topics Muse covers, you'd never imagine
pwt pwns
Muse magazine is in a class by itself. It has NO advertisements, noarticles about how to make yourself prettier or any other boring stuff that shallow teens care about. We musers love the focus on science and math, and they've replaced the original mythological muses with 9 of their own. These little cartoons litter the margins with their witty comments, making the rare tedious article funny. Receiving this magazine is your ticket into the close-knit community of Musers, kids who have openness and learning at the heart of all their doings.
