Advantages: Informative and entertaining

Disadvantages: none - except would like it more often than monthly!

I used to be a very fickle magazine reader, going by the best cover and having no particular loyalty. All that changed a few months ago when I discovered Eve - I've bought every issue since!

Having got a bit fed up with the sex-with-everything slant of Cosmo et al, and not quite ready for the knitting pattern end of the magazine market, I was really pleased to discover Eve, a mix of frivolous and serious articles, with a healthy (but not too heavy) dose of fashion and beauty (I normally don't read these sections in the other glossies!!). Examples of main feature articles in the April 2001 issue are "Stories the world forgot" (2 years after the earthquakes in Turkey), "Yesterday I was someone else" (people without a past for various reasons (amnesia, witness protection)) and "50 things every woman should know about sex" (self-explanatory!).

It also has a great dollop of advice on anything and everything in its "How to do everything" regular piece. The Health section is also pretty useful, with factual advice written in a snappy style and with plenty of links to more information.

So in short, I'd definitely recommend this to any other 20-somethings who feel a bit left out of the more established magazine market, and also to anyone looking for something to occupy them on a long train journey!
