The Puppeteer: Who’s Controlling You? by Cory Bradbury is an unforgettable read. The main character is living a life of misery. His job is very stressful and unfulfilling. His long-term relationship is dysfunctional. His physical health is compromised, as he reaches for too many cups of coffee at work, drinks alcohol in the evenings, and chooses all the wrong foods. His dream is set aside as other priorities become all-consuming. Who is the puppeteer who is controlling his beliefs and his actions? This compelling tale depicts the step-by-step process of how the main character moves from misery to forging a purposeful life. The process is sprinkled with enlightened colleagues, messages and coincidences. And, it is sprinkled with realistic progress - one step forward and two steps backwards at times. A true life journey is depicted.
When the main character in Cory Bradbury’s fictional work, The Puppeteer: Who’s Controlling You?, experiences rejection and pain, many important life lessons are imparted. Every reader will be able to relate to some aspect of the story, as these struggles are familiar in today’s complicated world. One’s true priorities may not match the world’s expectations. Mr. Bradbury’s allegorical tale is certainly engaging and fascinating; the reader cannot wait to see if the main character is able to make changes or not. The author adds the thought processes after the main character’s actions – another important life lesson! The story moves along at a perfect pace, making this book a real page-turner. The book brings a message of hope and inspiration; it is a thought-provoking and heartwarming story.
