This one took me a while - not because it's a difficult read, but because I wanted to savor it. It's well written, and when it ends, you want to look out for the Jones in your own life. It's true ... sometimes we all need a new perspective on life.

Character
Could your whole world completely change with a change in your perspective? This short book heeds you to consider that. It made me take a few notes and think about my perspective on my own life.
This book delivers a good message in well told fictional story. Some of the themes from this book remind me of those from The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne as well as some other motivational and inspirational nonfiction books.
There are serious topics discussed between Jones and several others whom he interacts with. Like how to communicate with others. How to have honor and respect for yourself and others. How to be honest and forthright. How to remember that you have an direct and indirect impact on people in this world, and how they also have an impact on others. Last but not least, the power of attraction (similar to The Secret). There are a lot of heavy situations with each person that Jones helps, but again, all of the messages are welcome. Every person that Jones interacts with seems to absorb the knowledge that he offers with reverence, after some initial and short lived trepidation.
A lot of the the concepts in the story we have all heard before but possibly in different mediums. At times the book does seem a little bit repetitive, I contribute this to the author trying to increase the word count. It was a tad annoying, but not enough to change what I thought of the content of the story overall.
This book was a thoughtful and fast read. Even though this book is inspirational, it doesn't read as "preachy", which is a good thing. I can appreciate books like this because it delivers helpful insight to those who don't necessarily read self-help or self improvement books. I always say, it's all about the delivery, and The Noticer delivers a positive message to those that may not hear it otherwise.

It's true: All a person needs is a little perspective. I would catalog this book as contemporary adult fiction, but it doesn't exactly read like a novel, so please don't go in expecting that. It's more like a collection of related fables for adults - fables meaning short stories that have a specific message about being a decent person (isn't it something that the human race often does need stories to remind us of this). Even so, the messages are timeless and true and a positive addition to any person, as well as to those persons around them and with whom they interact.
Simple, yet essential tidbits (reminders to most) of life that, as simple as they are, oftentimes get lost in day-to-day life. I enjoyed Jones and his words of wisdom.
The book Is thought-provoking but I couldn't connect with any of the characters. Although it had some flaws it is definitely worth to read and open your eyes.
This was such a great read. It's light but it's so inspiring. It really makes you want to live your life with a better perspective. I would recommend this book to anyone.
