Publisher's summary

A new story of common wisdom from the best-selling author of The Traveler's Gift. Orange Beach, Alabama is a simple town filled with simple people. But like all humans on the planet, the good folks of Orange Beach have their share of problems - marriages teetering on the brink of divorce, young adults giving up on life, business people on the verge of bankruptcy, as well as the many other obstacles that life seems to dish out to the masses. Fortunately, when things look the darkest - a mysterious man named Jones has a miraculous way of showing up. An elderly man with white hair, of indiscriminate age and race, wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt and leather flip flops carrying a battered old suitcase, Jones is a unique soul. Communicating what he calls "a little perspective," Jones explains that he has been given a gift of noticing things that others miss. "Your time on this earth is a gift to be used wisely," he says. "Don't squander your words or your thoughts. Consider even the simplest action you take, for your lives matter beyond measure...and they matter forever." Jones speaks to that part in everyone that is yearning to understand why things happen and what we can do about it.

Like The Traveler's Gift, The Noticer is a unique narrative is a blend of fiction, allegory, and inspiration. Gifted storyteller Andy Andrews helps us see how becoming a "noticer" just might change a person's life forever.

This held me spellbound as no other audio book has. I am regretting that it has finished. It will definitely be one I return to again and again. Very much worth the read and worth the listen.

Such an amazing literary work.

I highly recommend this book!!! Such a great book, for all ages. Teens to adults.

Awesome book, awesome narration!

This was one of the best books I've listened to. The story was relevant to all ages and narration was excellent!

My first experience

This was a book that was recommended to me by a colleague. I am an avid reader and I prefer the old method of turn page. However, I cannot say enough about this book and the way in which hearing Andy tell his story can cause you to wish you were there experiencing those moments with Jones and the others.
Definitely a book I will listen to over and over again. There is not one book I have ever done that with since I was a child this book is well worth it’s space on either your virtual bookshelf or your actual bookshelf.
