Not For Sale by David Batstone

This is another nonfiction book that was recommended to me at a conference.

To be honest I didn't like it because it made me face a lot of things that I feel are much further away. That a lot of people from first world countries feel are far away. Human trafficking. Sex slavery. Child slavery. Forced labor.

It was depressing. There were some heartbreaking stories.

However, I'd have to say that in the end, it was a good book to read for the sake of awareness. What I liked the most about this book is that it always had this message of hope - things can be done. Things are being done. And the best part was that even someone normal like me could do something - whether it has to do with the kind of chocolate, coffee or shoes I buy to simply bring awareness to the people I know.

I think everyone should read this book to be aware of the things that go on in this world, to know how many products are made by someone else's sweat, tears and pain. When it's put in that way, it made me realize that I didn't want to be a part of that.

Anyway, I highly recommend this book to everyone. And for more info, visit their website.
