Advantages: Cheap, fun and easy to read. Realistic advice for young women.

Disadvantages: Quick read. Don't buy if you're a bit prudish.

More Magazine is one of those publications which can't quite decide whether it wants to join Cosmo & Glamour, at the higher end of the 'Glossy' market, or stay with Heat and Closer, as more of a flick-through, waiting room style magazine.
It usually costs 1.75 (but on special occasions can be reduced to as little as 99p) and tends to focus on 3 main subject matters. These are Celebrities, Sex and Men. More also covers fashion, beauty and fitness, readers true stories and has general magazine 'bits' like letters, competitions and horroscopes (which focus largely on sex too!)
The good points about More are that it is cheap, lighthearted and easy to read. It takes itself less seriously than the larger 'glossies' and I think this works in its favour. It IS obsessed with sex, but in quite a self parodying way. The sexual position of the fortnight has become legendary (usually for its elaborate arrangment of limbs than the pleasure it generates) but many of the sex tips are realistic quick things you CAN do with your boyfriend (i.e. More doesn't tell you to spend 500 pounds on a tantric weekend...). More also has a lot more male input than most women's magzines, and while a lot of this is lighthearted and a bit cliched, it gives quite a realistic view of what men are really like.
The bad points... well it is a bit over loaded with celebrities but then this appeals to a lot of people, and I feel More offers more variety than Heat or Closer (which tend to focus just on celebs). The articles are also quite short, so it's not a very substantial read. It isn't, however, horribly overloaded with adverts.
I don't have many complaints of More actually. The fashion and beauty coverage is affordable and relevant to young women and the reader-magazine interaction opportunities are good. It's not the most serious magazine in the world but for 1.75 it'll make you smile and pass a few hours. It might even give you a sex tip or two to try out!

Summary: If you like sex and celebs you'll love More!
