4.0 out of 5 stars By no means a light read!, 4 Aug 2005
After having read through my collection of holiday reading, I begrudgingly followed my boyfriend's advice and read '50 facts' and I have to admit it was a really interesting read..and it certainly made me think. Each fact is well explained in a concise way, with enough detail to interest you without being overwhelming. I've recommended it to many friends and it has provided a basis for many intelligent sounding conversations! I'd say that this book should be read by everybody, a really good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fact not Fiction, 5 May 2004
This review is from: 50 Facts That Should Change the World (Paperback)
50 Facts that should change the world is an astoinishing piece of writing. The author, Jessica Williams impressively crafts fifty statistics into thought provoking, hard-hitting facts which indeed, should change the world.

'There are 27 million slaves in the world today'. This fact epitomises what the book successfully conveys from cover to cover. Extensive media coverage has opened our eyes to poverty around the world. However, few would know that the slave trade is still a significant part of society in country's such as Sudan, South Asia and Pakistan.

'Cars kill two people every minute'. A great majority of us spend so much time travelling that this is a terrifying fact. Like many facts in this book, Williams points out shocking statistics that potentially effect our lives on a day-to-day basis.

The fifty facts that Williams uses cleverly implies the shocking inequalities and contradictions evident in every day life. Hopefully, if more people read this 'eye-opener', we will avoid driving into an inevitable moral and social 'cul-de-sac'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, 9 April 2007
By Mr. A. S. Wood (Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This brought my attention to many things, its very inspiring and motervating. I can't say I agree with everything she said, but I think she gives you the room for that, to make your own opinion. This book has helped make me look at the World in a different way. The facts really should change the World
