Book Review - The Noticer
The Noticer is a very wonderful story that brings you into the life story of life lessons. What is the definition of wisdom? “The ability to see into the future the consequences of your choices in the present.” If only I read this book when I was fifteen and made different choices just by using wisdom. Andy Andrews proves to be a methodical story-teller interweaving spiritual beliefs, moral beliefs, and good judgment in real life experiences that make the reader wonder whether this is an actual story or a non-fiction book. “Jones,” the book’s main character, is a grandfather who has a great sense of humor, mixed with just the right of sarcasm, and the ability to draw someone’s attention by knowing exactly what to say. Each chapter of the book has a unique life lesson and the book as a whole would be the equivalent of ready thirteen separate personal development books. I rarely laugh out loud, or shed a tear when reading stories, but this story had me really pondering where the character would show up next. I think the ending ties the entire book into a lovely package. This book will become a gift to our children and many friends in the future.
