Good Points

In depth reviews of books as well as current UK and worldwide political issues. Inexpensive to subscribe.

Bad Points

Long Long Long reviews with no pictures to break the masses of text on the page. Some excellent articles, but an awful lot of time and hard work is needed to trudge through each section.

General Comments

There are definitely some excellent and brilliantly written reviews in the London Review of Books. I would however say that for me the title is a little misleading as I personally was looking for a Magazine that reviewed books. LRB is however more of a collection of articles on politics and current issues, with a few reviews of obscure books that the average Joe in the street will have little interest in reading. If like me you read for enjoyment with a little education thrown in occasionally for good measure, then stay away from this. If your tastes are politics/current issues, and you read to be educated and not entertained, then this is the magazine for you.

   I couldn' t agree more. Having subscribed for a year, persuaded by a special offer, I unsuscribed after three issues. The general intellectual tone was way above my head.
