 Such great quality and takes me hours to read it!

I have been a subscriber of Elle since I started college about 10 years ago. I have always and continue to be impressed with the quality of the articles. They are very interesting and about topics that are not superficial at all.
Yes, there are a lot of ads. But I don't understand why people complain about beautiful fashion ads in a magazine about fashion, which contains fashion spreads. The ads are just like fashion spreads. What is the difference, other than you're not paying for the ads - you're paying for the fashion spread content? Plus, all of those ads allow you to pay a cheap price. If you don't like ads, you can subscribe to an ad-less or low ad European version and pay over $100 for it.
Anyway, I highly recommend Elle to people who like Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. I actually think it is better than Vogue.
 Not What I Expected

I felt that Elle magazine did not represent its website-where I first consider purchasing Elle magazine because I found articles about relationship and school/career to be interesting. Upon receiving my first Elle magazine, I was disappointed that more than 50% of the magazine was made up of ads and there wasn't a decent amount of articles covering anything in general. This magazine was definitely longer to read than any other magazines. I am a bit confused on whether its a tradition of Elle magazine to pick a theme/topic every month and repeats it throughout their issue. The March '09 issue was all about being eco-friendly. Although, I found the articles on the topic to be interesting, the amount of ads packed into that issue was really frustrating and caused me to lose interest in what I was reading in Elle. I would miss some pages of an article or even a whole article itself because they're so much ads in between and all I care about was getting pass the ads and just reading. Overall, I am deeply disappointed and most likely will not be renewing my subscription. A star for interesting articles, another for being "conscious" of things outside of fashion. Loses 3 stars for poor layout of ads and articles, the massive amount of ads, and causing the reader to hesitate to even wanting to tackle the next issue.
 Great photography!

Good photos and models. Really great fashion with some really great prices. Have to pick and choose cuz some is strictly for some other place or the runway only. Articles well written with humor...Molly... I never thought I would get through that article, it surprised me. She does have a knack for being different!

I understand that the economic condition is not good. But the magazine became much thinner issue by issue. I'm considering unsubscribe now.
