Helpful Score: 3

The Noticer is more than a novel. It's a book meant to inspire people, to change lives. As Jones gives each cookie cutter problem a solution, the reader is supposed to look within their own self and life and take the advice given to heart. Jones answers questions about goals, motivation, how to act in a way that will make people want to be around you, relationships, purpose in life, and how to treat others to gain respect. There are a plethora of scenarios, and the book is not overly plot based- it is rather a book that goes from one problem to the next to give, as Jones would say, perspective to the reader.

Jones is charming and humble, even if the other characters tend to be a bit unbelievable. Of course, I understand that the characters must be a certain way to express the points of the book. While reading the book I sometimes felt that certain parts were hard to accept. As I said above, it all seemed rather cookie-cutter and too perfect in question and response.

All in all, The Noticer was an okay book. Not great, but not awful. It was a light day read that was, for sure, inspiring.
