Recommended it? No

I normally don't write magazine reviews, but I cannot remain a bystander. I have subscribed to the Forbes for a year and did not renew my subscription. There is a reason for this.

Required Reading in First Class

Pros Insightful business reading written by top-notch journalists
Cons Frequently out of stock in first class cabins world-wide
Recommended it? Yes

Okay...I admit it. I fly in first class...a lot. Why? Because my profession requires me to practically live in the air and the airlines pamper their most frequent flyers. What does this have to do with Forbes magazine? Well....guess what's the first magazine that is always taken off the flight... Read full review »

Pros articles
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

The magazine I am reviewing today is called ?Forbes.? This is a very well written magazine. I say this because the articles in it always stimulate me to buy another one. This magazine is so great that I often find myself literally waiting for the next issue of it to come out. This magazine has lots... Read full review »

A day late and a dollar short

Pros Great insight into business trends
Cons Subscribers are the last ones to hear about it.
Recommended it? Yes

I've been a subscriber to Forbes magazine for over a year now and I can honestly say it's worth the investment. Even with its quality content, it is lacking in a couple of areas.

Great Business Content
If you have any interest in the US market, you need to know what's going on before... Read full review »

The Magazine Equivalent of Fox News

byhermi14 Nov 28, 2006
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Not particularly left or right (within a capitalist business outlook).
Cons Lack of research. Sensationalism.
Recommended it? No

I got a free subscription to this magazine using frequent flyer miles, and I do not intend to renew. While the story topics are good, the writing is very poor. Overstatement and under-researched articles predominate. Read full review »

byesqhnl Jul 22, 2002
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Just about everything you wanted to know about the business world
Cons Too much advertisement
Recommended it? Yes

Every time I get my issue of Forbes Magazine I skip most of the articles and go straight to the lists or rankings. America's Top 500 Companies, America's Wealthiest Entertainers, The World's Wealthiest People, The International 500, etc. Hey call me nosy, but I want to know who's the richest? Where...

Forbes is not for everybody

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Good general business magazine, lots of informative articles
Cons Articles can get a bit dry, focuses too much on global business economics
Recommended it? Yes

Forbes magazine has always been a top contender in the business class world. It's one of those magazines that cover a vast quantity of information packed between it's pages. Although it's not for everybody -- or every business reader.

I religiously read Forbes for about 2 years, until I... Read full review »

Conservative and thoughtful

byozl Dec 7, 1999

Pros Great writing, very insightful
Cons Conservative
Recommended it? Yes

The impression I had of Forbes for many years is of a stuffy, conservative magazine for old money types. But over the years (reading the magazine on long airline trips) I was again and again impressed by how such short articles (most of the items are a page or so) can pack so much useful...

Pros Top notch, Internet, new economy, great writers
Cons Who can say anything against the best you can get here?
Recommended it? Yes

Forbes magazine is in its own league. It has something to offer to everybody: the serious business men, the new startup entrepreneurs, the kids with the hit idea waiting to conquer the hill, the Silicon Valley or Silicon Alley.

What is great about this magazine is that it has selected and... Read full review »
