Advantages: So easy to carry, or to keep in the bedside table drawer

Disadvantages: It's connection to the infamous prize draw.

Reader's Digest- is tarred with the image of being associated with the infamous Reader's Digest Prize Draw- so firstly let me ask you to put that out of your mind and just hear about what I am saying regarding it's magazine content. According to it's own promotion it is Britain' best selling monthly and to be honest that is no surprise. It is on a par or cheaper than other monthly magazines, but I would say it is packed with more content. The fact that it fits very neatly into a briefcase or handbag adds to it's appeal. I have just picked up one of my copies as a guide and it has 180 pages containing 14 in depth articles, many being on serious issues, and 16 regular features on issues such as health, travel and relationships. There are pictures but they take up much less space than the words- which may sound like an odd thing to say- but when you pick up another magazine- watch how much they fill their space with visual content. Throughout the magazine there are smaller amusing or anecdotal fillers and reader's contributions. So I would recommend it as a very good and informative read.

Summary: Informative, interesting and funny
