 For rich secret agents that like really cheap magazines October 2, 2007

Each issue of Esquire is like this: 30 pages of ads for expensive clothing, cars, cologne, and stuff like that before you even get to the table of contents. Then, in no particular order, you have an article about a celebrity you have absolutely no interest in, a feature about some clothing company or gadgets or something like that that you think is a really long ad (but isn't. Well, not officially.), a pictorial of some female celebrity you have never heard of, and one or two readable articles (these usually come in the form of short fiction or humor). Oh, and a lot more ads.
If you're thinking about subscribing to this because it's cheap and you just want something to read on the toilet or whatever, don't do that to yourself. Just subscribe to Mental Floss. If you want to have forgettable pop culture rammed down your throat and ads for all the latest gadgets and clothing so you can buy all that stuff so then when people come over to your swingin' secret agent pad they can look at your stuff and go "Damn, this guy's as cool as the people in magazine ads," then you should totally subscribe to this.
 There are some good things but not as good as it used to be June 18, 2007

I'm a photographer so I like to look at the pictures. Sometimes you get some great articles but often they are boring.
Still, for the price, you could do worse.
What kind of review is this?
It is the kind of review you get when the writer has a cold.
 Best MEN's magazine out there June 29, 2007

I first picked up a copy of Esquire a few years back at an airport, read it cover to cover to the flight, and haven't looked back since. It is a great magazine for men who are past the frat boy humor stage of their lives and are looking for something with more substance. The magazine's writers are top notch and regular segments like Answer Fella, Funny* Joke From A Beautiful Woman, and a sex column written by Stacy Grenrock Woods are always fun to read. The magazine regularly contains interesting articles on cocktails and recipes, restaurants and bars, movies and entertainment, sports and US and world news. And of course interviews with gorgeous and intelligent women, including a highly creative interview of Halle Berry by Tom Chiarella where Miss Berry writes the article and Mr. Chiarella annotates it. This is just one example of Esquire's creative approach to journalism. Sure, The Sexiest Woman Alive (where the woman so annointed is revealed piece by piece in different issues) may be tired (and to some, sexist), and some of the writing gets a little too tongue-in-cheek at times, but I have not yet found another men's magazine for which I would pay for a subscription.

This is one of the best magazines out there. The articles and advice are good. I really enjoy the jokes and the 10 Things You Don't Know About Women features every month.
I have enjoyed this magazine for years August 7, 2007

I first subscribed to Esquire five years ago as part of a package subscription that got me Esquire, FHM, Maxim, and Stuff for a ONE LOW PRICE!!!. After a few issues of the other magazines, they became nothing more than an annoyance, and I would frequently throw them in the recycling bin before even reading through them. Esquire, however, made a subscriber out of me. The magazine is funny throughout. They do a great job of writing in a very specific, dryly amusing tone that permeates all the articles and makes everything a joy to read. They have many regular features I look forward to, but I also am consistently impressed with the top notch choice of topics their feature articles cover, and the writing within them. My only complaint would be that I would like to see more fiction. When they do publish fiction, it is always of quality, and it makes the dry spells that much harder to endure.
As another endorsement, I would also like to mention that I literally have never had someone over at my house who has not enjoyed reading Esquire. Friends, girlfriends, party-goers, parents, siblings, and even one time a cable internet installation guy. Everyone loves Esquire. I highly recommend this publication.
