Me Magazine is a fantastic concept. Each issue is devoted to one individual. All the stories are interviews with friends and family of that person, about that person. By the end of the issue, you know this random stranger in an entirely new way. Or, at least, you should.

Issue 13 was about Ryan Donowho, an actor and musician that I’d never heard of. And, sadly, this issue shows the weakness of the concept. Because when the central character is weak, the whole issue is weak. Even after reading it, I still feel like I don’t know Ryan Donowho … and don’t really care.

Still, I love the concept of the magazine and the potential is great. Imagine the stories intersecting with each other, the same way our lives do. I have high hopes for the next issue.
