 good for building a vocabulary April 27, 2002

This unpretentious little magazine would perhaps be good for an intermediate Spanish language student. With its wide assortment of topics, there's bound to be a few articles to hold ones interest.
The variety for the month of May '02 includes "El Pantanal Brasileno", about the wildlife in Brazil and which includes many photos, a piece on Sophia Loren, another on conserving ones memory as one ages with mental exercises that are supposed to help, and many more. The one that appealed to me was "La Magia Curativa de la Cocina Oriental" as I'm one of those "you are what you eat" believers.It also has those "tidbits" like "La Risa, Remedio Infalible", and of course, the intimidating "Enriquezca su Vocabulario", which I find quite a challenge, and only occasionally have reached the lowest score of "Bueno" ! One has to remember that these articles are for the most part translations condensed from U.S. magazines, and don't have the cadence of something written originally in Spanish, but the translations are well done, and it's in that handy, easy to carry "fit in your pocket" (well, almost !) size.
Selecciones - why different from Reader's Digest? April 2, 2003

When I suscribed to Selecciones I was under the impression that it would cover the same articles as the English version of Reader's Digest. I think Reader's Digest creates a disservice to spanish readers by offering a product that does NOT produce the same well known, widely read product to English language readers. I was very disappointed that the magazines covered different topics --when trying to discuss articles from a Reader's Digest magazine with my mother, who reads only in Spanish, hence only suscribes to Selecciones. Why not offer the same well known product with the same articles that appear in Reader's Digest? Though selecciones is a good magazine, I don't see why the clear separation of topics from one magazine to another. It is misleading to suscribers who are looking to read the Reader's Digest widely distributed product, when they're actually buying an inferior product.

I WAS SUBSCRIBED FOR A YEAR WHICH ENDED LAST MONTH, I ONLY RECEIVED 2 ISSUES, CALLED MANY TIMES TO COMPLAIN AND NO FAVORABLE ANSWER. OTHER MAGAZINES I ORDERED ARRIVED WELL. I WILL SAY WORST SERVICE, WORST CUSTOMER SATISFACTION, WORST SERVICE, AMAZON SHOULDN'T HAVE AS A PRODUCT.

I was also very disappointed to learn that the Spanish version of Reader's Digest does not cover the same articles as the English version. My wife' primary laguage is Spanish and I also was hoping to discuss the articles that we would read in the publication. Can anyone give us the reason for the decision by the company not to have mirror versions in English and Spanish?
They don't offer zero stars? DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY September 10, 2007

Stupid me. This is the second time I have subscribed to this magazine with the same results (my son is in Iraq, and enjoys reading in Spanish). I ordered it in May, and have still not received any issues, even after calling them and receiving their promise that I would immediately start receiving issues. Last time, I think I received 3 issues. Don't be as stupid as I have been. Do not order from this company.
