The Noticer by Andy Andrews is an uplifting, inspiring, quick read that has the ability to change, well . . . your perspective. Ten chapters lead the reader through a series of vignettes that cover all sorts of seemingly 'hopeless' situations.' The main character, Jones, a blue-eyed, white-haired elderly man, encourages those he comes across in the midst of crisis or desperate circumstances to take on a different perspective . . . one illuminated by hope.
The narrator of the story begins the first chapter by sharing his own first experience with Jones and then follows him on his path to helping others. The nebulous Jones never ages and appears to take on the appearance of whatever race or nationality of whomever he is helping at the moment. He has a way of showing up when hopelessness and despair creep up in one's life. No one knows how he gets there or where he goes once he leaves. He leaves a trail of hope and new perspective behind. The author mysteriously alludes to the possibility of Jones being . . . whomever you think he might be.
This was a highly enjoyable book, a great pick-me-up in the form of a quick read. I definitely recommend it and I think you will enjoy it as well.
