Top positive review
Great subscription, great magazine.
May 24, 2016
This is a review not just on the magazine, but also on the Kindle subscription. There were some earlier reviews that had comments saying there were problems with their subscriptions. I believe that whatever those problems were, they have been resolved. My magazine arrives every week on time within a one-hour time frame. Well done!
I started picking up People magazine during some recent times of protracted medical issues. Concentrating on reading a book was more than I could do for more than a few minutes at a time. Reading through People Magazine didn't require studying or remembering, and I loved to look at the photos.
What is most lovely, is the positiveness of the articles. I looked at the other "entertainment" type of magazines and found they were overwhelmingly negative, critical and just a tone of tearing people down. People Magazine doesn't do that. I found as I read through the articles week after week, that I actually began to see celebrities as people. I could look beyond the (what I consider) scandalous wardrobes, which always gave me a negative view of them, and see the culture (and its requirements) that these folks are part of. Reading People Magazine, I saw the "ordinary" persons behind the "glamour" - people that had children and families, pets and so forth. People Magazine treats people in an even-handed and fair way. One doesn't feel angry or upset, irritable or anxious, as can happen when you read news sources or even other entertainment sources. I feel generally cheerful. In today's world, I think that is high praise for a magazine!

digital version disappointing
September 9, 2016
Fun 'trash'/light reading that I enjoy in an airport once a month because it's easy to pick up and put down and pay 'half attention' to it and to flight announcements. But it looks like you can no longer buy one issue?! I hate that you have to be on line to have full access to the magazine so I won't buying digital versions.

I have subscribed previously; but the rising cost prohibited me from renewing in the past. This time I got a offer that fit my budget.

Bought this as a gift for my Mom's 81st birthday. She enjoys getting it every week , something that keeps on giving. The price was definitely competitive.

Its like a glam Reader's Digest or newspaper. It keeps you abreast of what's happening with less blood and guts.

This was a gift for someone. It is not my cup of tea, however it was the best price I could find!
