I ordered this subscription on 11/24/08 and the first issue arrived about two weeks ago, almost even before I expected it to. It has been arriving on the same day every week, so I am not left wondering when it will come. I was worried about ordering a subscribtion online, but it it went very smoothly! I would order other subscribtions in the future!

I've been reading People Magazine since the early 80s, so I know I'm not in the demographic they're aiming at any more. It's turned into LOTS and LOTS of reality TV coverage of non-actors, along with very young new actors and musicians, with very limited coverage of established actors. It seems to me they cover a smaller range of people than they used to. I'm telling myself that I"m not going to renew my subscription, but I'm still reading every issue, just skipping the articles about people from shows I would never watch. Their reviews of books and movies are perhaps worth the price of the magazine, and aren't available on their website.

If you're interested in reality TV and very young actors and pop musicians, you'll love this mag.

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," but only if you don't expect it to be "The New York Times."

Not only was the price the cheapest I was able find anywhere, the first copy of the magazine, which was supposed to start in six to eight weeks, came only four weeks from my order date. What a deal!

I subscribed for a year at one hundred bucks. My mother-in-law and I both enjoyed reading it but, to be blunt, we didn't get that much enjoyment to warrant the price tag. By contrast, we adore VANITY FAIR and can't imagine life without it. I spend a lot of time on my computer and I am always plugged into the internet. I have also set up igoogle pages where just about every source on the planet has a gadget and listed items. I have an entire page devoted to entertainment and another entire page devoted to news. There is not much that I don't get right away through all the sources I have put on those igoogle pages. This made PEOPLE superfluous. If I'd been offered this magazine on a renewal for let's say a quarter of what the subscription costs, I might have taken the renewal. With the internet, however, gossip comes a lot cheaper than this.

I bought this for my husband's birthday. It's cheap entertainment. He loves to read it.

I got my issue last week, it did come weeks before the expected 6 to week delivery, I was a little dissapointed by the celebrity info because I also subscribed to US weekly and for the price I would definitely reccomend US. People seems way overpriced if you are looking for celebrity gossip and as far as the personal stories about things that have made the headlines. I have today you can read the same information on the web or your local paper. I was quite dissapointed, I gave them four stars because they were not terrible just over priced.

I have given this as a Christmas present the past two years. My daughter tells me this is her favorite present ever. She looks forward to finding the new edition every week.

I have waited two months for my first issue of PEOPLE. I have yet to receive it. Hopefully, it will be here by the end of this week! PEOPLE's weekly issues is exactly what I've wanted. I hope the issues I've paid for will be just as informative as those I have read at the monthly news stands.

We have a piano studio and when the child is having his/her piano lesson,
the parents are always seen reading People Magazine. It is light reading
and is fun to see what is happening in Hollywood with the stars. My parents
say that it gives them that half-hour of peaceful enjoyment!!! Thanks.
