Advantages: many interesting reads
Disadvantages: none
Full House is a Womans weekly magazine costing 68p. for roughly 58 pages
The first thing you notice is that the front page is not daubed with sensational heading that shout out at you more likely they are what you can relate to.
The Editor is male.who always puts a little piece on page 3 and tells you to enjoy the mag.
The magazine consists of 6 headings.
The first is True Stories
There are around 11 stories each week usually one or two pages long. I find these stories good to read and well written. They are not too far fetched and some even you can really relate to.
The second heading is Travel. They dont just do one place but about 4 or 5 telling you where to stay, why its great and a deal. There are also some very good tips listed for each area too.
Then you get Full life which is usually about health and problems. The resident Doctor is Doctor Nancy Kuchemann who will answer about 3 questions each week but it seems she chooses problems ones that many people would want to know the answer to. In this section is a health trivia which is good. There is always one that I love. This week it is did you know that beween 10 and 25% of people sneeze when they look at the sun! I do!
Then comes the puzzle prices. Every week the puzzle is the same with puzzles such as 4 fit which is 16 squares with words reading down and across, look through and find out which page this photo comes from, crosswords, word search and many others.Most of the prizes are for money.
Do you remember the days when the male used to read womans magazines proped in their magazine or books as it wasnt the done thing to be seen to read womans magazines or admit to it? Well those days are gone not only do men read these magazines and find them interesting, and yes my son and husband do too, but they send in the competitions in their own name thus admitting to the world and hey yes they send their photographs in to the winners pages too when they win.
Fashion and Beauty
This magazine does not get swamped down with adverts for fashion and they answer beauty problems too.
Pets corner is good. You can send in your pet pics and hope to get £25. There is also a pet confidential where yes the pets write in with their problems and the vet answers!
Then you get the Plus such as problem pages and letters page. You also get Cleverclogs which if you have a good idea you can write in or if you need help with a problem about the house they write it for you and then readers write in with the answer.
Of course no womans magazine is complete with out Astrology Your Stars!
So why do I like this magazine? Well there are not pages and pages of advertising ie clothes and food. There is a lot of reading in this magazine too.
One thing I have found though is that some weeks this magazine is very hard to find on the shelves and you dont hear it being advertised a lot.
It is well worth buying whether you are male or female.
Thank you for reading.
Summary: A good read, good competitions and not full of advertisement taking up pages and pages
