GQ Magazine December 15, 2009 B. Sander 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
This magazine subscription made a great birthday gift. I got it at a good price.
Confused October 6, 2009 Scott T. Strachan (South Florida) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have subscribed to GQ on & off for some time. I have just renewed my subscription and decided to write a review. Before doing so, as I usually do, I read the most helpful favorable and critical reviews and was conflicted when I read them because I agreed with them both. GQ has evolved over the years and I believe that if you are expecting a stuffy highbrow publication you may need to look elsewhere. That or maybe I have evolved over the years, anyway I appreciate the articles, fashion, and stuff to drool over that I will never get. I don't think it has devolved to the levels of debauchery that H&M has. That being said I do think there is some room for improvement. Anyway at the subscription price you cant beat it.
Way too many ads! September 25, 2009 P. Chen (LA, USA) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have noticed a trend in the latest magazines to let advertisement take over the entire magazine. IN the case of GQ, it has gone above and beyond. ON the edition shown for the MJ edition, I opened it and it was very thick magazine. I ordered 2 years since I thought it was a good deal. What i got was 80% ads and 20% reading material. THe reading material is poorly written, it seems the writer just graduated from high school. He had alot of grammar and syntax issues. THe material itself is great.. its pretty hip and stays within mainstream. The material itself stays with the mainstream culture and covers the latest stories and news.
But the ads are so annoying, they are bigger than the reading material so if you try to flip the pages, you are likely to flip to another ad. Alot of it is about sex... which is fine... but its crudely written and doesnt really offer much insight. Its like two college students writing their sex life as if its their term paper due tomorrow morning.
Then, the reading material is cutoff and then goes to another page... so for ex, if ur at page 90, it would want you to flip to page 137 to continue, and the rest of the pages are just random stories and coverage all into one. So it would be like 4 page of one topic and then asks u to flip to another page.... so another story can come in and more ads.
I wont recommend a 2 year subscription.... the price is good, but I think im paying for ads. Its a good read at the news stand for what its worth. If you want some real insights, I recommend going online. THe ads in the magazine does show some new products...
The upside is they do tell you how to dress, latest trends and some coverage. However... ads really kill this magazine.
