Advantages: Interesting stories at a good price

Disadvantages: None really

I like to read the free Metro newspaper that you get on public transport, however these newspapers can sometimes go very quickly. So when I have no Metro I tend to have a wander in my lunch hour to the local shop near where I work. I don't really stick to any magazine in particular, however I do find that That's Life! is a pretty decent magazine especially at a low price of 68p.

Most of the stories are very interesting with the front cover obviously showing the better ones. It also has the handy page number under each stories headline. The stories are a good mixture of heart felt stories and also true crime.

There are over 10 different puzzles which are spread through the magazine. One point I have to make is that I prefer the puzzles to be kept all together but this is only a minor problem for me.

I also like to look over the recipe section and this magazine has a varied selection, all the recipes look simple to follow and in the issue I bought I was quite taken by the one for Choc & Orange Ice Cream. Now I just have to find the time to make it!

The health section is actually very informative with lots of different information and advice on offer. I also find the beauty section informative and has the added twist that when the advisor recommends beauty products she actually sends out the product to the writer.

There is also a consumer guide section which is always handy along with bits and bobs on how to save money. Which certainly can't hurt in the current climate.

One of my favourite sections of the magazine is Aren't Men Daft, where the reader writes in with funny stories regarding the silly things that men have come out with. I do have to say that to be fair I would include womens daft comments too, but hey it is a womens magazine after all! This bit also includes readers jokes where you get paid £15 per joke, not a bad amount just for a little joke.

There are advertisements throughout the magazine but not that many that you felt you have just spent your money and time looking at adverts.

That's Life isn't a glossy high end mag but does a great job of entertaining the reader, it certainly helps pass the time whilst I am on my lunch hour.

Summary: Give this mag a try, I doubt you will be disapointed.
