The Noticer – Andy Andrews
Young Andy is struggling. Both of his parents have died. He feels he has little to live for in his life. His life changes when he is visited by a man named Jones. Just Jones not Mr. Jones. Jones gave him a new prospective on life. Years later, a now grown up Andy remembers the lessons Jones taught him. He wasn’t the only one taught by this man. Many in the town had their own experiences with the man named Jones.
The Noticer was an excellent book. Indeed, the title is true as Jones notices situations, virtues and characteristics in people’s lives that they would never have noticed themselves. Reading the story can be like looking in a mirror. As Jones gives his advice and his observations, its as if he can see into the lives of the readers. There is so much as a reader that can be taken from the story.
I came into this book expecting it to be more in the non-fiction/advice genre. Instead, I found a great story that captured my attention. In some ways, it reminded me of the recent bestseller The Shack. Both are stories that hold a deeper meaning then your average fiction story. This is a book I would definitely recommend to anyone!
Stars: 4 1/2 out of 5.
