the best magazine ever !
This is a great mag full of interesting story's and poem's.I have been getting this mag for about a year know and at the end of the month I can't wait to get Cricket.I also like it because it doesen't have any adds.It has great fantasy and history story's. You should try this great magazine.

Made me who I am today
I received a gift subscription to this magazine from my aunt when I was 8 years old and kept every single issue I got in the mail until I turned 18 and my mother refused to keep paying for it (it is rather expensive). I have reread the hundreds of issues I have over and over and savored every possible detail. Because of this magazine, I became a happy appreciator of quality children's literature. Cricket doesn't talk down to children but respects their natural intelligence and curiosity. Fiction stories coexist with nonfiction, poems mingle with crosswords, beautiful illustrations appear next to photographs. A great way to start a lifelong passion for reading!
I was introduced to Cricket magazine through one of my teachers in early elementary school, and soon afterward my parents began a subscription for me. From then all the way up through middle school I devoured each issue cover-to-cover the moment it arrived. At first I found it a welcome challenge compared to the overly simple and mundane classroom books of the "Mac the cat sat on a mat" variety. Even after I had surpassed the magazine in my reading ability, I continued to enjoy it for the content of the stories. Even my mother loved to read it.Read more

Waste of Money and Time
I picked up an issue of this magazine last week because I wanted to take the picture of the cover girl into my hair dresser. After I got it home, I opened it up to check it out and discovered it is the most brainless magazine I have ever seen. The articles read like something from "Teen Beat", yet it's filled with adult material. There were about 10 articles on "how to please your man" and "what guys like" and even a "sex workout". These articles didn't contain any "real" advice--just unintelligent babble. For instance, did any of you know that guys don't like it when you act unenthusiastic during sex? HMMM, crazy.
What is sex like for him?
Cosmopolitan is a magazine that has a lot of information of different subjects. It's not only about sex and how to look great,but also about people's concerns. It's very easy to read and find what you are looking for, but there are also many ads. The perfume it usually has inside is pretty bad, and once you open it, the whole magazine smells. But as of context, the magazine is interesting

If Women Buy this Tripe Is There Any Hope For Us?
If you're in search of a magazine for women that actually has worthwhile content then move on. There is nothing of substance in Cosmopolitan. Open the latest issue and you will find "sex tips that will drive your man crazy!!!" and "snag that cutie!!" galore. It's pathetic. And sophomoric.

Conspicuous consumption
I got this as a freebie along with W and it lasted only as long as I received it for one year.The use of fur and skins was nauseating and I couldn't have been more disgusted at the vapid, innocuous, 'insights' it offered.This magazine has no redeeming social value.

Glossy Body Art
For me, the September issue of Vogue, with its 700 page issue, is more than eye candy. It's art. It's that simple. I no longer look at most of the fashion in the magazine, nor the models, as realistic, something that can ever transfer into my own life, nor would I want it to. It reminds me of trips to art museums where I can admire one painting half the afternoon, but it doesn't mean I want it hanging on my wall at home.
Vogue is so OUT of vogue
A friend once said to me, "If you want a glossy that is a no brainer then get Vogue!"

Um, no magazine
I'm sure this is a great magazine.But after ordering it and waiting 4 months I still don't have it.I have contacted the Amazon magazine service twice now and still don't know where my magazine is, or when it is coming.I was supposed to be coming in mid march (so there is a wait to begin with fyi).I gave this review 2 stars because I'm sure it is a good magazine, but the publisher apparently has problems working with Amazon to get it to my house, so they are not scoring to high in my mind.
Beginner-friendly...seriously
I've been buying Runner's World off and on for years and everytime I pick up a copy, I never feel warded off the sport. I'm trying to train for a triathlon and everytime I pick up a magazine relating to triathlons in general, I feel like I'm the laziest ass on the planet. I'm not going to not do one because of this but it doesn't really help motivate a beginner. I love Runner's World because it's all-inclusive, for any level, for any age.
Excellent magazine
Being an infrequent runner and trying to get back into shape for the Baltimore marathon this year, Runner's World is indispensible.A number of the articles are encouraging and help me with training, diet, etc.The equipment reviews make me salivate (I wish I could afford one of the Garmin training watches), but in all it's a great magazine.I highly recommend it! ...

A Rite of Passage
I believe that every American man owes it to himself to subscribe to this magazine at least once in his lifetime.To feel the sense of entitlement that comes along with regular deliveries of hot naked women to one's mailbox is a true sense of prosperity, freedom, and manhood not to be missed.God bless America, and may God bless Playboy Magazine.

Informative
I have been reading Playboy for years and have always felt this magizine has grown with informative information,and of course the great pictures have always been top notch. I cannot think of a better magazine to subscribe to......

Exceptional, Hot and still the Best!
Who hasn't heard of Playboy? Well, there are many reasons for that. Hugh Hefner's vision for what really matters for a man and how to make sure that you'll have some good time and fun is still unsurpassed. I guess that most men are drawn to the exclusive and high quality photos of usually gorgeous women who are tastefully exposed but not completely. I love this element of teasing and keeping part of them uncovered so you can spice up the entertainment and experience with your fantasies.

Yes! Men's favourite magazine
FHM is absolutely gorgeous! hot and sexy covers, great entertainment and fashion info.
I LOVE NAKED WOMEN
I LOVE NAKED WOMEN
Young naked women . . .
Young naked women: that's what life is all about. But you have to earn the naked part. Until then, by all means get a subscription to FHM. Unbelievable. And if you cannot actually have the women in the magazine, enjoy the articles. Or try getting famous or something. (Russell David Harper would recommend trying to go to the moon if you can, so that you can talk about your experiences, to women, when you get back [see his silly but perfectly honest novel called "Bald"]. Good news: according to George Bush, we may well be going back to the moon, so sign up now . . .) ... Read more

Great for new fashion followers, passe for insiders
Italian Vogue is very avant garde, and features the world's best photographers, models, and designers.But it's been exactly the same for like 13 years.It even got overplayed a few years back, as the only magazine carried around by top stylists.It's definitely worth a one year subscription, but you may want to reconsider renewing it.

One of the BEST fashion magazines out there.
In a previous review I slated the incredibly banal American Vogue, and recommended Italia.Thank God Amazon.com now offers subscriptions.Although this magazine is "a little bit more" it is worth its weight in gold.Even if you can't read Italian, the fashion spreads more than make up for it.It is everything American Vogue tries to be...stylish, cutting-edge, progressive.Who reads American Vogue anyway? - There's nothing to read in it!You won't regret buying this magazine. ...

Articles of interests
I like the magazine for fashion as well as for the informative news articles.

GQ stands for....?
I never bought GQ back in my 20s because for one thing, I never thought of myself as a clothes-horse.Also, I actually took the G in GQ to mean that it was actually for Gentlemen, ie, sipping Champagne on a Yacht pass me the the Caviar type Gentlemen.
REALLY GQ
I love this magazine, the images are crisp, the writing consistantly to quality and the photography is always fabulous.Let's face it when a magazine coins a phrase, you know it's good.I have read GQ for several years and have found it consistantly good, though I must confess the only part that I consider must read every month is Style Guy, I don't always agree with him, but I love the questions, you really wonder if these people have ever picked up the magazine the are writing to..one never knows.The clothes they feature are usually top shelf, uh with top shelf prices as well..I mean a $2000 pair of alligator lofers..you gotta love it.If you have any interest in the latest styles and some great writing as well, then I highly recommend this book to you, though frankly I can't imagine anyone reading this that does not already have an opinion of this iconic magazine..but if you don't then by all means pick it up and form your own opinion..it's worth the effort. ...

Better Than the Rest
I like this better than the other Women magazines out there.I enjoy the pull out workout sheets and to me it has more useful information than Shape and Self.It is fairly new so it hasn't quite caught up to the Men's Health magazine but it is getting there fast.:)

Great Overall Women's Mag
I like this magazine so much better than Self and Shape. I have subscriptions to all three and only plan on renewing Women's Health.

Pump it up
This is a great concept.As a personal trainer I've seen far too many women suffer under the different ideas that people have about the way they should be.There are good articles in this magazine, articles that make good sense and are strong inputs to a fitness program.Now they need to dress it up.

A very, very invigorating magazine..
I am a IT prof. Thus, I subscribed to this mag.; only with the perspective to gain a "little" insight into the working of the brain, instead of having to go through tons of myraid med. literature. What I was pleasantly surprised with and I really mean it - is this editorial board's ability to present even day-to-day matter which even "might" concern some neural science in such a lovely and beautiful manner; that even my wife (who's just a plain house-wife) loves to read. The subject matter discussed IN NO WAY can be considered to be MEDICAL, but rather a CRITICAL APPRECIATION AND DISCUSSION of every-day issues and stuff we notice around each each day. The amount of advertisement is bare minimum ; quality of print is excellent ; the writings are terrific. ONE OF THE BEST MAGAZINES TO HAVE on SHELF. (Proof - my sister's 16-yr. old came to visit me. She's BUILT on video-games, Skype/AOL chat and MS Civilization III. She opened this mag., started to read it and finished the 4 issues I had till midnight!)

Mind Engaging
This is my favorite magazine about the mind, particularly with respect to consciousness. It's like a meeting of the minds (no pun intended) between spiritual phenomena and scientific discovery. The articles are seriously interesting and always have a new twist. I do wish it was printed more frequently however it is worth the wait for each issue.

My favorite magazine
This is the best magazine I've read lately.It is still new, and I've only received 4 issues, but read each cover to cover, finding each article fascinating, and very accessible (unlike the parent publication, which is occasionally over my head.)It may be just because I like the subject matter - but it seems to me these are subjects which would interest most people.Some recent articles (as of Oct. 2005) included why we lie, the meaning of dreams, the nature of consciousness, what causes creativitity, what is deja vu.It is one subscription which is well worth the money.The only drawback I've found is that it is quarterly - sometimes it seems like a long wait between issues. ...

The highlight of recent trip to hospital.
Recently my family was visiting a relative in the hospital.I spotted the 60th anniversary issue of Highlights for Children.In perusing it I noted how the magazine's style and format had evolved over the years.In showing the magazine to my [...] year old daughter, I realized that Higlights appeal to children had not waned since I was a kid. My daughter simply adored it.She especially liked the riddles.She has asked us to get a subscription, which we will gladly oblige her with come Christmas.

A BIG TIP
I read Highlight Magazine faithfully when I was a child.Now I am a mother of two (2nd grade and Kind.).I just got a tip from a teacher at school - the writers of the Highlight (Harcourt) also write the exam for the 3rd grade state test in New York state.

excellent resource
I enjoyed this magazine as a kid, but then, I also loved Electric Company.Looking at both now, they seem dated and tedious, but perhaps our children need something that moves at a slower pace than everything seems to do now. Neither of my children (5 & 7) enjoyed Highlights at first, but after getting a subscription from their grandmother, they have discovered the joy of curling up in a quiet corner and figuring out the puzzles and stories for themselves.It's a magazine with a style and format that encourages reflection and absorption, rather than a voracious grab and go version of reading, that I believe will give a child a better foundation."To read without reflection is like eating without digesting" Edmund Burke ...

rocks.
magazine rocks. i took french in high school and i'm in college now, so i keep up with my french by reading this magazine among others. the price is iffy [esp if you're a poor college kid like me], but the magazine is REALLY great--the photos and the artistic value is worth it alone.

For The Tops In Fashion, Plus Highly Collectible
French Vogue is a magazine which is published in french and is directed towards the people ofFrance, and anyone else who is interested in the tops in fashion, art, books, movies, as well as health, beauty, and fitness issues. Vogue is for the person who is either "In", who who wants to be. It is often heavy laden with photos and articles on celebrities, and contains the usual array of advertisements directed at the Jetset.
lovin' it
I don't speak a word of french,and I barely read it, but I love this magazine!!! If you love fashion, get a french dictionary,I did, this is a magazine to savor! I have every issue since Ms. Roitfeld took over and will keep them forever! This magazine is very sexy, modern, french, well edited, up to the minute, bold, well designed(Fabian Baron) intelligent, I could go on and on, I've seen/get all the rest, including Vogue Italia, this edition has all the best stylists, photogs, and editors, I can't wait for the next issue! ...

Esquire is interesting
Esquire may be a man's magazine, but I enjoy the articles as a woman, because it is no holes barred feedback with the rough edges included. I got my first issue a couple weeks back, and found it funny, informative, great pic of Tom Petty, and I'm looking forward to more issues.

A Very Good Magazine
Esquire is a very good magazine with a talented staff of excellent writers and photographers. The magazine is designed to appeal to the more upscale, more highly educated man. Articles cover a wide range of topics, from fashion, to politics, to health, to food & drink, to sports, to travel, to sex. Most of the articles are short, but you can count on finding a few lengthy pieces of journalism, and typically at least one interview with a well- known public figure.Esquire is printed on quality paper and with quality binding (no staples), and it has a very professional look to it. Ienjoy the articles in Esquire. The writers are very good, with several of them using humor as the main ingredient of their journalism. Others are more serious. The writers provide a good level of balance and with so many different topics (cars, food, drink, politics, etc.) available in each issue to read, you can skip over those that are less appealing and concentrate on the ones that suit your interests.

The usual high standard
Still maintains an excellent reputation as a top men's life style magazine. Articles are certainly for the more enlightened reader. But still manages to provide a good balance of light-heqarted fare. A must subscribe for the 'modern man'. ... Read more

My Daughter Loves Spider!

Spider is always a great read
My children (7,5,2) and I always get terrific belly laughs when we read the spider cartoons aloud that appear throughout the magazine in each issue.The stories, illustrations and poetry are excellent food for young (and older)minds.But our favorite feature is the cartoons!

I have enjoyed Spider as long as I can remember (that's a long time, considering I remember before birth). I read them practically every night. I loved the comics on the back and the art. If you don't have it, you NEED Spider! ... Read more

The Magazine Diva says.......
I suggested on my site to share the subscription price with a friend. This mag has a few good ideas but no exactly on the pulse of my life.

well rounded
I've been reading Glamour for the past three years and it has been a great magazine all around. Glamour covers topics on health, career, finances, sex, relationships, style, etc. Of all the magazines on the newsstands, this one is the most intelligent and savvy for women in their 20s and 30s. Yes there are too many ads like in most magazines, but that's how the media survives, they get their salary mostly from ads. I usually don't mind because I feel that its such a great magazine, that the ads are worth putting up with. I have felt that at times Cosmopolitan is a little too focused on sex and "please your man" articles.
Save your money for a different magazine
I started ordering Glamour 2 months ago, and honestly it is a huge disappointment to me. There are so many ads in this magazine its unbelievable. Ladies, my advice is to save your money for a different magazine..I dont recommend Glamour at all. ... Read more

a big change for the fashion industry is coming
I recieve different magazines over the course of a year. i don't know why. It simply happens that way.Marie Claire is a pleasant surprise.I found in the first issue I read, a group of writers, editors and all involved with this magazine, not just writing about issues, but being proactive.Everyone on the street in NYC in bikinis and whatever each individual felt comfortable with, to bring awareness to skin cancer.Really cool!Each issue has write ups on a certain amount of relevant international and national news for women and other sexes too.they are adding the right amount of consciousness to an otherwise totally fashion magazine which also i have found surprisingly refreshing and fun. Ace Job Marie Claire staff!!!

The Magazine Diva Says........
I enjoy Marie Claire but they could "step it up" a bit. Splurge vs. Steal probably sells their magazine for them. Often I notice repeat information, or feature products that appear in 4 other fashion magazines. More originality would be helpful. And it really pissed me off that the fengshui article was such a limited target market. (I'll still read next month's addition. I have to find out the best "steal"!)

A wonderful publication
I have always enjoyed Marie Claire. I don't know why I took so long to actually get a subscription. It's a well rounded magazine, and well suited for women who are younger and older. ... Read more

I thought I'd do without it
I thought, eh, Lucky magazine, i don't really need this anymore... so I broke it off. (I am a college student, so, I'm a little bit poor. Lol.)
The Magazine Diva says.......
Even if this magazine is a mag-a-log, what would we do without it? September issue rocks with Eva Mendes on the cover and some juicy fall finds inside. The biggest news? Lucky has found a way to shop with your cell while stuck in traffic. It's about time technology got up with our lifestyle!

I Love This Magazine!
This magazine single-handedly taught me how to dress with style- and believe me- that's no small feat. I love how Lucky showshow to put pieces together to look fabulous without mindlessly following the crowd. If that's all I had interest in, then I could've simply bought the Lucky shopping guide book.But their reviews of up and coming clothing and jewelry designers, hair, makeup, home decor, and the "How I'm Wired" sections keep me coming back to the magazine.Plus the Lucky Breaks are awesome.My only complaint is the average price of their featured raved-about items.What Lucky is for me is a fantastic template for fashion and style that I can use to find similar items at cheaper prices in stores like H&M, Target, etc.It's so worth the $12/year, and I look anxiously at the beginning of each month for its arrival in my mailbox. ...

A Poor-Man's PEOPLE magazine
This is not a TV guide.The one in my newspaper (Los Angeles Times) is better, and that's saying A LOT! This new TV Guide is more of a poor relative of People magazine what with it's short articles, gossip, movie news, etc.There isn't even a daytime listing.And, as with the TV guide in the newspaper, I guess there is no TV after midnight, as that's when the grid stops.Ridiculous!I guess we just have to stay up all night and click back and forth to see what's on after midnight, and the duration of each show.No wonder traditional television no longer exists.And because it doesn't, that makes TV Guide not necessary.

Worst of the Worst
The TV GUIDE was once a valuable weekly periodical for finding out what was playing when and where on our televisions. Everything was listed by date, time and channel. It was that simple. It has now evolved into a nightmare of cross-referencing and incoherence. There are also enormous gaps where programming is not even listed. I believe that television was once labeled to something synonymous to a vast wasteland. The TV GUIDE has now evolved into a vast wasteland unto itself.
