New Yorker The Magazine

Pros: Everything

Cons: No

The Bottom Line:

I like it.

Review: Readers beware of subscribing to The New Yorker. This legendary anthology of New York culture contrived to provide readers with enormous amounts of information on, not only the city where most of our major magazines originated, but on ...

Pros: Excellent Production, Vast Coverage of a Vast World

Cons: Some pharmaceutical ads beginning to appear.

The Bottom Line: It is the best magazine.

Review: =============For the first issue after the disaster at the World Trade Center, dated September 24 - the Cover had to be special. It was. It was a plain solid black with the Magazine Title, date and price.============= I cannot think of a more...

Pros: In depth analysis of a variety of topics.

Cons: Writing styles are varied (which may be positive)

The Bottom Line: It's worth the price if only for the information about weekly events in New York City

Review: Since the last review of The New Yorker on Epinions was over six years ao in 2001 it seems time to review it again. This review will address two major issues about the magazine: what has changed and what remains. One major change is that the magazine ...

Pros: Superb features, excellent reviews, outstanding fiction, amusing covers

Cons: Really none

Review: Last summer, a doctor who regularly contributes articles to The New Yorker, wrote one on nausea. Like many New Yorker pieces, this was one long article, about 10 pages if I recall correctly.

I could not put it down. The sun set, the spouse,...

Pros: Poetry, cartoons and articles

Cons: Hard to get through quickly

Review: Call me a snob, but I love this magazine. I used to read my Dad's when he would get it, but for years I got away from it. Recently at work, I struck up a conversation with someone about it. I took a bunch of back issues that she was going to throw...

Pros: Simply the Best - funny, smart, topical

Cons: Occasionally self-important and dull

Review: The New Yorker isn't just any magazine - it is The Magazine. Despite the fact that it may or may not have only 800,000 paid subscriptions, or that it may or may not be losing a few hundred thousand dollars per year, this venerable book contains some of...

Pros: Fascinating articles on real subjects, great reviews, great cartoons, great editorial slant.

Cons: Weak fiction and poetry.

Review: Maybe this will be easier if I list the reasons why I love this magazine:

1. It's weekly. How the editors build such a deeply considered, timely magazine each week I have no idea, but somehow they pull it off in high style. Time and again,...

Pros: Excellent writing, movie reviews and music reviews

Cons: I wish I had more time to read everything.

Review: What a combo: The best articles of any magazine in the U.S., great movie reviews, and hip music reviews. What else do you want?
I've read the New Yorker for at least 14 years. It has become less stodgy, but it still contains the best stuff from the...

Pros: diversity, arts coverage, fiction

Cons: supposedly funny cartoons really *not at all* funny

Review: I run to my mailbox every Tuesday in anticipation of the New Yorker -- a dazzling combination of politics, movie reviews, theater notes, book commentary and great fiction. There have been weeks when I was disappointed, but very few, in my 3 years of...

Pros: Everything

Cons: There's only fiction issue a year

Review: About five years ago, my dad, a former New Yorker saw an commercial advertising subscriptions to the New Yorker magazine. The subscription was originally for him, and while his name still appears on the cover every week, we renew it each year as much...
