The title and the cover of this book drew me in right away. I knew it was something I wanted to read. And I am glad I read it. Andy Andrews' book The Noticer is a very easy read, and as I was reading, I wanted nothing more than Jones, the main character, to be my best friend.
The book is about the people of a small town and a man who comes in to this town and changes all of their lives, simply by noticing them and caring about them. He teaches them how perspective is everything and shows them that by changing their perspective, they can overcome their problems and become the people that they want to be.
I finished this book in an evening, but it's not because I was dying to know what happened next. The story jumped around a lot, and unlike some stories that do this, it never really came together in the end. And by the way it is written, I am not sure if the main character is supposed to be Andy or Jones. I love short allegorical stories. This one wasn't bad, but I am sure it's not one I will ever read again. Overall, the character of Jones is one the reader immediately identifies and loves. It’s just too bad the rest of the book didn’t follow as well.
