People magazine is about famous people; all the famous names are covered

4 out of 5: A guilty pleasure just keeps getting better

This people magazine is one of my guilty pleasures. While I've been told its "trashy," "overpriced," etc., by family members, I can't help but pick it up when I'm waiting for the doctor or waiting in line at the supermarket. Time seems to pass by in about two seconds. I've been reading People Magazine (surreptitiously, I might add) for about five years, and I love the way its structured; attentitive to detail, and especially attentive to the needs and wants of its readers. I especially like the book reviews. I like to read this magazine because it’s fun, sexy, and humane. It covers not just celebrities, but real people as well. It covers all aspects and walks of life, not just the ones of the celebrities who are hot at the moment. While the  people magazine tries to cater to a wide audience, most of the people who read it are women. People Magazine gives the reader a lot to choose from, many different takes on an issue, and its a hard magazine to put down.

5 out of 5: People magazine great/Subscription-service BITES

I love this magazine-- it gives me pure joy each week when I receive it.
But the Synapse subscription service is lousy. Gave a  people magazine subscription to my SIL as a gift, and it's more than a month OVERDUE to arrive. Ok, problems happen. But the only way to contact synapse is with a voice directory, which took forever (had to repeat my credit card number three times!), then figured out I needed to talk to a real person (bingo!), and finally, instead of transferring me, cut me off. So I called again, and cancelled my subscription, only to hear my refund would be $81 instead of $108. Incredibly frustrating. When, this time, the directory patched me through to a real person, he was quickly able to set things right. (Thank you, Donald!).

5 out of 5: I'm a People magazine subscription  Person

This magazine has had such a tremendous influence on my life. I know that a lot of readers get this subscription because they think of People Magazine as just "Fluff," but if you are looking for inspiration, the pages of People are loaded with it. For example, several years ago, reading about Tony Robbins in People inspired me to investigate what he was all about. That led to my buying one of his books, then a set of motivational tapes, and ultimately I went to one of his live seminars and WALKED ON FIRE! That experience has led me to a personal understanding that I can do ANYTHING that I set my mind to. All because I read about Tony in People.  Another great example is Robert Kyosaki -- I read a profile on Robert which talked about his Rich Dad Poor Dad book, which prompted me to get a copy of the tape set. I drove around listening to those tapes in my car for months -- and then next thing I knew, I made an offer on a house, got it accepted, and suddenly, just a few months later, I went from being a renter to a home-owner. My own personal American Dream story, straight from the pages of People. And lastly -- perhaps most importantly -- I read a small story about a new system for increasing intimacy and passion for couples. I followed up by buying a copy of the "New Sex Now" dvd right here on amazon, and before I knew what had happened, suddenly my love life went from ho-hum to humming on all cylinders. I started dating a woman with whom I shared some major chemistry, and soon I turned her onto the experience -- it ignited passion in us both that we had never known before, and intimacy that was unparalleled. Now, a few years later, she's my wife. Talk about fulfilment! I connected with the love of my life because of an article I read in People magazine. Granted, all of the foregoing is not to say that there's not a great deal of very light entertaining reading and pictures in People, for those who want to just veg out and pass the time idly. But for those who are looking to improve themselves, for those who are looking to suck the juice out of every drop of life, People magazine can be the stuff which makes dreamers out of work-a-day slobs by providing pictures and profiles of the people who inspire us to be more than what we are. How much more could you want from a magazine?

3 out of 5: Beautiful People magazine ?

The cover of your beautiful people seems to be wrong. The small picture of Pat Tillman should have been the cover, with the picture of Jennifer Aniston on the corner. The issue should have been focused on the truly beautiful - the servicemen and women fighting for our country. The so-called "stars" seem even more superficial when you put a photo of Pat Tillman, and all he stands in front the magazine. How many "stars" could of, or would of, done what Mr. Tillman did for his country.
