The Noticer, by Andy Andrews, was a fascinating read.  From the first few paragraphs I was completely drawn in and found myself anxious to keep reading.

Set in Alabama, it’s the story of Andy and his encounters with a man, only known as “Jones.”  When Andy and Jones meet, Andy is homeless and living under a pier at the beach.  Jones surprises him with a challenge that not only changes Andy’s perspective on his current circumstances, but eventually the rest of his life.

As Jones drifts in and out of Andy’s life, Andy discovers the effects that this mystery man has on the lives of others in his community.  A marriage on the brink of divorce.  Businesses on the verge of bankruptcy.  People at the end of their ropes.

It’s not that Jones has all the answers.  Rather, he asks the right questions.  Questions that cause people to stop and consider their choices, their habits, their circumstances.

Inspiring. Thought-Provoking. Moving.  I highly recommend this book which has also produced The Noticer Project.
