Cons: Sometimes the reading is very light.

Biography is not the place to go for hard-hitting adversarial coverage of politicians and celebrities. But it doesn't pretend to be. In it's treatment of its subjects it is faultlessly polite. Deferential even. It is something of a press agent's...

Biography magazine is what People magazine should aspire to be. But then, People is really aimed at the "vidiots" of the world who have trouble remembering that George Clooney is NOT a doctor.

Biography, like it's parent cable...

Pros: --

Cons: That it's not free!
