 Best Magazine Ever!! June 3, 2002
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
This magazine is very easy to read, and, the stories are actually interesting!! Stories about convicted murderers, life in the united states, true life stories, history, and scientific facts. You won't find a better magazine anywhere else! The moment I got the first issue I sat down and read all of it. Everything you expect in a magazine packed into one easy-to-read subscription. I highly reccommend it. The only thing that cost this magazine one star is that sometimes a few of the stories can be very boring, but everything else is terrific!
 Great Memories...Great Format! January 14, 2005

This book has been around so long that most people over 50 consider it to be a "fond memory." And, when your eyesight takes a downward spiral (as it does for all of us), it's nice to know that an old favorite such as this can adapt to fit our needs.
Nostalgia plus informative human interest March 9, 2006

One reason I like to on occasion read the 'Reader's Digest' is because it and I have been both around so long. It is nice to see something I remember reading 'the human interest' stories in so many years ago. I remember how as a child I would go through their vocabulary test column.
'Readers Digest'always has had something healthy and homey about it. 'Forty ways to lower your cholestorol' or 'Nine - hundred and two ways to tie your shoes' Things like this always kept me interested.
I also liked the brevity and economy of the articles.
I may not read it all the time, but whenever I come across it it is enjoyable to look at .
I recommend subscriptions for all doctors' and dentists' office.
Finally, a Large Print Magazine that isn't childish! September 15, 2003

For years Reader's Digest has offered a Large Print format, but it was more expensive, had less articles, and few, if any, photographs.
Now, not only do they offer a Braille version (I rather doubt the photography there,buut since I have not yet read one, do not know if they use embossing instead), but the large print version is just as good as the usual bathroom read, without the eyestrain! I am thrilled with this change, as my vision deteriorates I know I can still keep reading "Reader's Digest"!
They cull articles and quotes from a great deal of printed media, as well as encouraging readers to submit their own findings or experiences.
Quotable Quotes is often amazing as to who said what, and Word Power is a challenge every single time. For inspiration, public awareness (Did you know you can write to a medical company for a small artificial breast to see if you are checking yours appropriately? Really!), a laugh of kindred humor, whether it be "Humor in Uniform", or "Life is the United States" (Which is now world-wide), or "That's Outragious!" (which points out cases of the Law vs. Justice), or just the tagline pieces at the end of articles; it's all good.
This magazine tries to bring you the best of the best.
Find your inspiration here, an alternative perspective, new ideas, concepts, and quite often, the chance for true insight into the lives of others.

I have yet to receive a copy of my order but you can be sure I have already been charged for it. Very disappointed in excessive delay in receiving my subscription. If I don't receive it within the week than I will cancel. R.M. Carignan
