Oh, why not just go ahead and subscribe? Over the years
I've let my
People
subscription lapse several times, but I
always renew it because I just end up buying the damn
thing at the grocery check-out. Nothing in this magazine
is going to improve the quality of your life; it's pure
escapism. The Oscar coverage, the best/worst dressed,
the sexiest man alive...who can resist? It takes me
about 30 minutes to read it cover to cover every
Saturday, but it's always a pleasant 30 minutes.
Sometimes I get a little tired of the public
relations-placed celebrity coverage (the "50 most
beautiful people" being the worst offender). While they
generally stick to the fluff they do best, the editors
can rise to the occasion - their fabulous 9/11 coverage
did a great job of addressing both the individual losses
and the emotional impact on the whole nation.
People magazine is great value. |

I have read well over 20 magazines in the past year or
so and the one that caught my eye is People. I love the
topics they discuss in the
People
magazine and I love the way
it is written. This is the by far the best magazine yet.
Great Job!! |

All-aboard! The train leaves the station at 5:40, and
pulls up to my stop around 6:30. I can get through most
of "People magazine" by then. So can you. Not difficult
reading... and don't expect to learn anything important.
"People magazine" is not meant to teach you anything. Kick back,
pull out your monthly train pass, set down your bags and
flip through a few pages. Learn about the latest goings
on of the rich and famous. See the costumes of
Hollywood, and the cars they all drive. And when you are
done, leave on the seat for the next guy. He's had a
long day too. I fully recommend "People
magazine" but only if you don't
expect it to be "The New York Times." |

People
magazine
has a consistent variety of interesting human
interest stories and news. It is one of the only
magazines that I actually read cover to cover every
week. I like their consistent, always familiar format. I
love all of the "standard" sections such as the
crossword puzzler, passages, Star Trends, and more.
Their book, music and movie reviews are well-presented.
One of my favorite things about
People
magazine is that they keep their stories together
on consecutive pages. No more "Continued on page
3,234..." where you have to dig and dig through all the
ads to find the end of the story! |

Celebrities and gossip, you either love it or you hate
it. What I like about People Magazine is that it's
tasteful and doesn't JUST focus on the entertainment
industry, but real people too. Granted, the top 50's
don't seem to include the average Joe, but that's what
sells magazines. The stories that are told about people
around the world who have overcome adversity, or made a
great life for themselves in a unique way, or have
suffered an emotional loss, are well written and
interesting reading. I thought it might be cheesy to
spend so much money on a
people magazine
subscription but when I look at
my magazine rack, it appears I'm buying them every week
anyway, so why not save a boatload of money and buy
online! |
