The SUN Magazine

Pros: If given more than a passing glance, this magazine will force you to think!

Cons: HUH!?!

The Bottom Line: I believe that more people need to read The SUN. Even if you don't agree with its entire content, there's still something in there for everybody--including YOU!

The Bottom Line: A tasting of many different artistic expressions, ideas and views all found in one little, and very beautiful, magazine.

Pros: Good photography, provocative writing,

Cons: poetry not very interesting, too avant garde

The Bottom Line: The Sun is a literary magazine that makes the reader think. You may feel enlightened or irritated by some of its content, but you can't ignore it.
