The book The Noticer garnered huge press when it came out and I can clearly see why. Andy Andrews creates a story that it touching and forced me to think about my own life and the people in it. The Noticer focuses on the concept of perspective and how when a person is in the thick of things, they often lack it. It’s tough to find it and often you need, “a noticer” to help sort things out.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it was quite an easy read, which I enjoy even more. The story was compelling and told in a manner that was easy to follow. It is tough when there are two main characters, Andy and Jones, but Andy does such a nice job of merging the two characters.

My biggest struggle with the book, and maybe it is just me, but the concept is very simplistic in its presentation, but it is much deeper. I know it’s not a self-help book, but it would be much more academically applicable if there was more opportunity for discussion and reflection. Even with the study guide at the end, I found the application of the concepts to be the biggest disappointment.

Either way, I do recommend the book to you because I am still digesting the lessons taught.
