Advantages: Interesting; Easy reading

Disadvantages: None

I don't buy a newspaper very often but yesterday I was going on a long bus ride so knew I needed something more interesting than staring at the back of the person in front's head for an hour. Yep, it's the Birmingham number 11 bus and I'm sure any Brummies reading will shudder at the thought of it's 2 hour route! lol


The Sun is a tabloid newspaper that costs about 35p, the Saturday version is more expensive and they have a sister Sunday paper which is called the News Of The World.

This newspaper deals with serious news as well as loads about what the celebs are up to. A lot of people don't like The Sun because of how they treat women but I think that's stupid, page 3 doesn't bother me at all and I'm not one of them people who won't read page 2 because of a pair of boobs on the next page! lol

It's always written in a very easy to read way and even though it's not always completely honest reporting at least it's not majorly malicious like a lot of the other newspapers. The front page is always sensational and usually just has one story on it's front page instead of a main one then a few little ones. There's a lot of celebrity news in The Sun and I think people look down on it for this but I think it makes the paper more down to earth and if I want more serious news I know I need to look at one of the stuffier newspapers.

I like the columists in The Sun because they talk sense and aren't as far up themselves as the people who write for The Daily Mail or Telegraph for example. I find them easy to read and intelligent but without needing to use big words to prove how clever they are compared to their readers!!!

There's a problem page, television listings and horoscopes and loads of pages of sport at the back. The Sun have loads of free giveaways where you either have to collect tokens and send them off or take a voucher into WHSmiths for a free gift, it's usually DVDs but I had a wicked James Bond MP3 player last year that was dead basic but saves me taking my ipod to the gym.

Summary: Don't Turn Your Nose Up At The Sun!
