Book Review: The Noticer by Andy Andrews

The latest book from Andy Andrews, The Noticer, makes it quite clear how valuable perspective is in our lives. The main character, “Jones”, is a guy that notices things that others often miss. This book follows Jones as he interacts with various people of a place called Orange Beach, bringing each of them a little perspective they wouldn’t have otherwise had.

I don’t usually gravitate toward fiction books, but this one was different. The book had a good flow to it and kept me wanting more. The wide range of people Jones interacted with touched many areas of life, & the way all the characters tied together added a bit more “perspective” as well.

I highly recommend this book. I often found myself unable to put the book down because I was so interested in what advice Jones was going to impart on his subject. The advice he offered almost seemed to be common sense at times, however, it was also usually something most of us tend to overlook as our world gets faster and faster.

This book was a good change of pace for me, it slowed me down. Although, not specific advice from Jones, that may be what I noticed from his interactions with others. He wasn’t any smarter than his friends, he just wasn’t in as big of a hurry. That’s just what I took away from it. Jones probably has a little personalized perspective for each individual reader, that’s what I think makes this book so easy to recommend to anyone.
