Customer service questionable
I tried to make changes in the subscription that I ordered by emailing TWICE. I have not received ANY reply. No copies of the magazine have been received, so I can't comment on the magazine itself. Customer service is TERRIBLE!! Don't know if anyone will benefit from this transaction except the magazine service itself.
I understand the magazine is great.
Save your Money
I wonder who came up with "Mental Floss"? It's more like "Can you Think"? Very little in this gloss that you wouldn't find in your local paper, near the trivia questions and funny pages. Nothing...zero...nata. Save a tree.
A different kind of magazine
Let me start off with I subscribe to at least 15 magazines covering a range of subjects. Mental Floss is the only magazine that I save and leave out for guests. The reason I save it is that is a very quick read that can be read while people have a few moments to spare. The articles are short and don't provide much depth. However it is enjoyable to read something that requires no brain power to process. Mental Floss is a great magazine that you can sit down with and read in one sitting. It even occasionaly brings a smile to your face. I suggest you give it a chance but don't expect to much.
Great Gift for Husbands/Fathers
I ordered this for my father, a trivia junkie, and he absolutely loved it. He started giving his copies to my husband, who enjoyed them so much I ordered it for him too. The added benefit is that I get to read them- only after my husband has read them cover to cover.
One fantastic magazine for random knowlegde junkies...
If you are like me and crave random tidbits about hundreds of subjects, then this magazine is for you. It also has slightly longer articles on the more interesting subjects, but never gets deep enough to bore those with ADD. Honestly, this magazine is my new favorite read and I can't wait for each new issue to arrive. Too bad it's only a bi-monthly; the subscription is worth the price, trust me.
