I have just finished reading The Noticer, by Andy Andrews. It was a great read!
The story chronicles the life of a man named Jones – no Mr, just Jones – and his encounters with the people of a small Southern coastal town. When Jones enters a life, he brings with him perspective on that life and the person living it; this perspective, more often than not, changes the very life it has observed.
I believe we can all benefit from a change in perspective at one time or another, and the gift that Jones gives people is one we should all be so fortunate to receive. If we all were to take a step back and notice how our lives look through someone else’s eyes, big opportunities and encouragement might await us. Jones and his life made me realize this, and I was also lucky enough to see a little of myself in some of the story’s characters. I got a little bit of perspective, too.
The Noticer is a great book. It is easy to read – though confusing at times, as you may wonder at times (as I did) if it is based on fact or is purely fictional – and does make you think. The Noticer is available through Thomas Nelson Publishers and any of a number of book retailers – check it out!

You're not talking to yourself. I enjoyed reading this post.
Sounds like a good book. Maybe I'll get to read it during fall break.
Sweet dreams.
I don't know what I was expecting but your review makes the book sound much more interesting. Now I'm going to have to add it to my 'to be read' list.
