Prospect magazine ( issue february 2007)
Time: 5:01 AM

Recently i have managed to get my hands on a copy of Prospect issue February 27 with much gratitude to my sister. This year being my O'level year, i have hungry to get my hands on any reading materials that might increase my aptitude for the English language like the Newsweek issues Calvin has very kindly supplied me with. And here is my verdict : Prospect is indeed worthy of all the commendations it has gotten and will get in the future. One article that strikes me most is 'Slower Technology' by David Edgerton. This article highlights how today's society is very much misguided into associating technology with novelties in information technology or 'whizzy gadgets' as the layman's term for it is. The parameters the article explores is something that can be used for very common exam topics for English essays of today. The English language the contributers for the magazine use is very in depth and of a standard comparable to the much recommended Time magazine.Since the magazine touches on current issues, the reading of it can be of help to those wishing to get a good grade on their GP paper. However Prospect is heavy reading material and not recommended for novice readers. 'the final plate was lamb's penis and testicles :the penis had an unpleasantly slimy texture' from Matters of Taste by William Skidelsky. And with that dear readers, i end this review.

Verdict: Good for improving English
For advanced readers
