I thought this was a pretty good book. I read it in about three days - it went very quickly despite it's size. It's not very funny and does makes you sad alot, but it's still worth a read!

It uses the f-bomb a bit much for my tastes, but overall, I really enjoyed this book and even laughed out loud a few times. Definately recommended!!

I'll keep it simple--I loved this book, and will likely be keeping it in my library. Find your own copy--it's a keeper!

"The Noticer" is a book about an old guy most people call Jones, who has a knack for showing up in the lives of people at just the right moment. He shares a little wisdom and gives them a "new perspective" on their circumstances, with life-changing results.

It's a quick read (or maybe I just devoured it because I was so reading-deprived!), and an easy, enjoyable one, too. It's a book that will make you think about seeing things through a different set of eyes!

What's really most amazing to me is that it's based on a true story. Read it and you'll see why that's a big deal!

I just finished this book, and I tell you - it is a game-changer. It found me right in my wilderness, and showed me how to look for my Promised Land instead of grumbling in the wilderness for years. I HIGHLY recommend this book!

I had heard lots of hype about this book and how awesome it was. Finally one day I had to find out for myself.

The hype was well-deserved!

I won't say much because it gives too much away, but it's the story of a grieving father dealing with the loss of his daughter. His journey through this process is amazing!

The perspectives offered in this book will change the way you think about God. My mom wasn't sure how to feel about it. Others think it's wonderful. Either way, it's very thought-provoking and worth every minute of reading.

It was a book that I couldn't put down.

Classic chick lit - you know what's going to happen, but you have to keep reading anyway! Fun for me because the little towns in the book are local spots to me.

This book was a fun fiction read. Not a romance, not a thriller, just some great Chick-Lit. I laughed, maybe I cried. (I don't remember!) Another book that I couldn't put down!

This was a great book! Anybody have the sequels? :-)
