Pros: Serves its target audience well
Cons: Duplicitous in its editorial values
...walk out with Highlights for Children instead...
I decided to give this a closer look thanks to some Epinions that suggested some sort of change in the general pap-fest that is Reader's Digest. Don't be fooled; it is still the...

Pros: Campus Comedy, etc.
Cons: Front cover index is gone
Someone gave me a few copies of this magazine recently. I have to stay I only read them because they were free. It's not that Reader's Digest is a bad magazine. It's just that most of the articles in it are not "news." They are just a rehash of...

Pros: small and portable, good human interest stories and anecdotes
Cons: none, really
I can't remember a time when there wasn't a Reader's Digest around my house. My mom and dad have subscribed for years so I'm quite familiar with this little magazine. I started reading it in elementary school, once I'd mastered all my easy reader books....

Pros: A nice collection of news stories and features each month; great for new adult readers.
Cons: None
Teaching adults to read is a challenge. It's a very worthwhile and invigorating challenge, and ultimately it is very rewarding.
What has adult literacy training got to do with Reader's Digest?
Once the alphabet sounds are...

Pros: Wide variety of articles; topics to interest virtually everyone
Cons: None
Yes, I am familiar with the jokes about which room in the house Reader’s Digest is supposedly “good for.” As a matter of fact, when I would visit my grandmother’s house as a young boy, that’s precisely where she kept a number of RD issues,...

Pros: Easy to read, and easy to put down. Great gift for friend or relatives
Cons: wish they didn't clutter it up with drop out advertisements
I don't think that anyone growing up in the United States could NOT know what a Readers Digest magazine is. It probably ranks in top ten of the "most given magazine subscription from parents".
It also probably ranks...

Pros: A lot of magazine for the money
Cons: none
When I think of all the magazines that have come and gone at our house the list is endless. But one that has always remained is Reader"s Digest. This one is my husbands all time favorite. I think it started back when his mother used to get it and...

Pros: Great jokes, a variety of articles
Cons: Some may find it boring and uninteresting
For decades the small monthly magazine Reader's Digest has been a staple for millions of American households. Instead of being filled with the latest fashion news and diet tips, Reader's Digest provides thought provoking articles and investigations....

Pros: No questionable articles or ads.
Cons: Those silly subscription cards!
That's the way I go through Reader's Digest. Always a minimum of twice. Always fast the first time. Slow the second time.
The first time is fast, for the article titles, the little quips at the ends of the stories and for the jokes. The...

Pros: Variety of Interesting Articles, Can read in short bursts of time.
Cons: Lots of Ads and reply cards (but I use them for bookmarks as I read)
I remember seeing the Readers' Digest as a girl over 55 years ago. It had a pastel cover with no pictures, just the table of contents. My father would keep them all together on a shelf. As I grew older, I read some of the articles, too. As an adult,...

Pros: quick reading
Cons: can't think of a thing
Reader's Digest is one of those magazines that has something for everyone. It is quick reading but that's part of it's appeal -- a little fluff, a little real life drama, some tear on your heart stories, some laughs and even a vocabulary quiz! I like...

Pros: None
Cons: Sanitized, pre-processed, and mindless
My feelings about this magazine can be summed up by the second word in the title - "Digest." Because that's what it does to your brain the longer you read the drivel inside. Let me begin at the beginning - a survivor's tale, if you will.

Pros: Excellent reading, Well written, A book for all tastes
Cons: None
Why can't you ever get in the bathroom? Because someone is reading, what else...the Reader's Digest. Within two weeks of getting an issue, we are all anxiously awaiting the next issue. This is the most varied collection of all kinds of stories that I...

Pros: Wide variety of topics,
Cons: Articles are watered down when they are condensed
Regardless of your current feelings toward Reader's Digest, odds are that before you were born and in your momma's tummy, you were probably indoctrinated with your momma reading the "Word Power", or "News From the World of Medicine"...

Pros: Informative read, topical articles
Cons: Watch out for those sweepstakes
My mail box runneth over with junk mail promptly delegated to the trash, but every now and again one item just may catch my eye. Such was the case with an envelope marked URGENT OPEN NOW YOU"RE A FINALIST. Now this got my attention simply because I...
