By no means a light read!,
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.

Fact not Fiction,
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’.

Unbelievably thought-provoking!,
As soon as I saw the headers (1/3 of the world is at war, 30 million people in Africa are HIV-positive, One in five people live on less than $1 a day) on the front cover, I had to buy this book. It gives an insight to reality and made me realise how much I don’t know about the world. I was shocked to learn that:
1) More people can identify the Macdonalds logo than the christian cross
2) 10 languages die out every year
3) We’re caught on camera upto 300 times a day!
I think Jessica Williams has done an excellent job in writing this book. It’s a first step towards factual information and all I can say is “WAKE UP BRITAIN!”
