The reason I became an O Magazine subscriber was pretty understandable to anyone who lives for a good bargain: I received a special offer of 12-issues for $5.00.  I love to read and I love to save money, so I couldn't pass up that combination.

I'm also a long-time fan of the Oprah Winfrey Show.  I'm...

A friend brought me several magazines one day and one of them was O' The Oprah Magazine.  I will read anything once and if I don't care for it I don't care to read it again.  I didn't care much for Oprah's magazine, maybe because I don't care much for Oprah anymore.  I use to love her show when she...

O-Magazine is one of the best on the market to me. I have read so many magazines for so many years. I absolutely love them. There is such a wide variety to choose from that you have to subscribe to so many to get everything out of them that you want. This magazine to me has everything in it that I need and want in a magazine and if I had to just choose one to subscribe to it would be this one.

It seems to me that this magazine is constantly printing articles to help women improve themselves. That to me is not necessarily a bad thing. We were not born perfect and I am always looking for ways to...

Very rarely do I ever feel so strongly about something.  O, The Oprah Magazine is leaps and bounds above every other magazine on the shelf in its category.   In the art and fashion world, which is my personal background, I look for the "one", the trend setter, the changer of the status quo that inevitably everyone else copies in one form or another, until finally the most watered down version ends up at Target. 

O, The Oprah Magazine is exactly that.  It is the real deal, the genuine article.  In a category where most publications print insipid banter, this magazine actually handles subject...

I'm not very original, I'm afraid, but I admire style and quality material of Oprah magazine. She definitely knows, what she's doing. All articles are so insightful and quite deep on this or that matter, nothing hasty or unaccomplished. And just look at these pictures!!! Quality just saturate them all. I didn't notice even one faux pas. Keep up your good approach, Oprah! I personally appreciate it very much.

When I was pregnant, I decided to re-evaluate my magazine subscriptions.  With all the baby and parenting books and magazines I was starting to accumulate, I decided to only keep two magazine subscriptions.  O (Oprah's mag) was one of the keepers.  It is so well rounded and covers so many real life topics.  I love the book and movie reviews.  I also really like the clothing reviews and suggestions because they are down to earth and realistic, which makes them very different from the clothing reviews you find in so many other magazines.  The clothing featured in Oprah's magazine is actually... review »

This obviously is a great magazine from cover to cover.  Has great ideas, solutions, recipes - EVERYTHING - Hey, it's Oprah - what do you expect!!!  Great authors for all articles that have great experience in their field of study!!  It's a great gift to give to someone!!  You gotta love Oprah - she only wants the best for all of us!!  After you read, pass along to someone else to enjoy and educate themselves!!  If you can't always see her show, this is the next way to go!!

I got a one year free subscription from my coke rewrds.  The magazine started arriving very quickly (I've subscribed to some that take forever to come.)  I was pleasantly surprised to find in my mailbox a huge magazine.  It was like getting the old Sears wishbook.  There are ALOT of advertisements in this magazine.  They also have some really good articles.  It's easy to pass on once you go thru it twice.  Not a magazine I find I need to keep around for awhile.

I was excited to get the O Magazine, but it is really just A LOT of ads and the shopping advice and great finds are usually way out any normal person's budget. There are some great articles on occasion but I look forward to receiving less and less each issue. It seems like every month there are even more ads and less substance to the articles.

I like many am an avid Oprah watcher because I think she is very inspiring and does good things for people.  So when I heard she had a magazine, I couldn't wait to pick it up and it was a good read.  This magazine is very thick, but cluttered with many advertisements.  The content is great though because they offer articles on a wide variety of topics and lifestyle tips.  This is a great women's magazine because I have found ways to destress, have more confidence in the workplace and great weeknight dinner recipes.  The recipes are a little complex, but if you are trying to impress your friends... review »

O, The Oprah Magazine is one of my absolute favorite women's magazines on the market today.  I became a subscriber a couple  of years ago because of the content of the magazine, which is even more varied than Oprah's television show.  One reason the magazine appeals to me is it caters to most income brackets when showcasing products.  Other glossy magazines normally parade high-end merchandise, which bugs me.  Also, the women that are usually featured in O have realistic body sizes and shapes and the articles that address problems their problems with fashion and beauty are more relevant to...

When this magazine arrives each month, whatever else I'm reading (which usually consists of several books and other magazines) gets put aside until I've read O from cover to cover.  I like that each issue has a theme.  Certainly, some months, and some articles, are more pertinent to my life than others, but I can always find something -- usually many things -- in each issue to keep my attention.  Many pages end up dog-eared for future reference or action before I pass it along to my sister.

Many people who have never read this magazine assume it is "just another" women's magazine, along the lines...

I read this magazine twice. The first time it was because this magazine was brought up to my attention from one parent who actually won a black cadillac when she accepted the won invitation to Oprah's show. Others commented on this magazine to be full of good insights.

I found a copy at a doctor's office. I glanced through it, but I could not find much that captured my attention other than a well-done calendar of events which was no help to me.

I fully read another copy of this magazine a couple of months later, at a magazine stand in a Target store. I felt the same way. This magazine, to me, is...

When Oprah first came out with her magazine, I jumped on the bandwagon and purchased a year for myself, all of my friends and my mother.  We would talk about all of the articles and share our thoughts and feelings about them as well.  We always appreciate the fact that the magazine has wonderful articles.  These articles are helpful, insightful and full of wonderful ideas and tips which make like easier.  As well, the articles allow us to open our eyes to new and different aspects of life which, for some of us, have never occured to us prior to reading the articles.  With all this said, the... review »

I have been a subscriber since the very beginning of this magazine.  I have always said that you do not have to be an Oprah fan to enjoy this mag.  It is like settling in with your favorite Sunday newspaper.  There is a little something for everyone.  Yes the magazine is thick.  Yes some of the articles don't appeal to me.  Yes some of her shopping picks are way out of my price range....but that is part of the fun of reading a magazine.  You get to check out things that are not in your normal realm of existence!!!!  You get a peak at how others live, think,and  have fun!!!!!  O magazine... review »
