"I started reading this book and didn't want to stop until I'd read another chapter and another. I love the story and the style of writing. I follow this author on Twitter and I had seen a few proofing errors and when I wrote him to tell him how much I really enjoyed his book I mentioned these and he not only replied to thank me for the good message but he also said he would make changes that I pointed out in his next printing. I take this as a high compliment that he didn't look at my input as a complaint but as a constructive mention to correct something that had been over looked. I recommend it highly and look forward to reading something else of Mr. O'Sullivan's"

- I read this novel in 24 hours! A few things First, the cover art is downright phenomenal! I sometimes read books on , but I'm glad I ordered the paperback. I will proudly store it in my house for years. Second, the story is exciting as hell! The lead up with Frankie and Evie and the adventure they are on is riveting stuff, and you just know what's coming. Finally, the battle with Howie Doss and the introduction of "The Empty Suit", a.k.a. The President, pushes this novel even higher in my view. I won't mention the end, but I love where it takes place. This book is highly recommended!!
- I can't remember the last time I had so much fun reading a novel! It's a political thriller, but it's also an adventure for the two protagonists. There's even a bit of a love story. I can't say enough about THE PUPPETEER!!
- I bought the novel because I was attracted to the cover. I thought I knew what to expect. I was wrong. Instead, it was a novel artfully framed by the author into an adventure of two bright, naive, young adults. And when you do finally meet the Puppeteer, you will appreciate the meaning of the cover even more. The uniqueness of this book amazed me!
- Brian O’Sullivan is an awesome new author whose first book, ‘The Puppeteer,’ had me hooked in the first chapter. It’s a timely adventure that we can all relate to in this awful political climate. The two lead characters are so lifelike that you feel you know them personally. I couldn’t put it down, and I recommend it highly to anyone who appreciates a good escape into a fast moving story of intrigue and surprise.
Just one criticism....grammar and spelling. The publisher should have proof-read this wonderful story a lot closer. It aggravated me to see so many missteps in sentences. This is an easy fix, though; just get a better publisher. Don’t let this stop you from reading the book. It really is a magnificent story, leaving you wanting another adventure by this talented new author. I thought about giving it 4 stars, but I loved it too much to do that. Bravo, Brian! - Absolutely fantastic book, and I am one who usually does not read fiction (hence 1000 books on my app and only 6 are fiction). I follow the author on Twitter and was excited to download the novel. (I did find some grammar/punctuation errors as he warned but he says he has now invested in a high-priced editor, LOL). Reminds me of the Dan Brown book "The da Vinci Code," one of the few fiction books I have read - crime, political maneuvering, coverups, suspense and murders all over the place while the heroes go from one drama to the next trying to find answers and seek justice and in the process, trying to stay alive. Totally loved this thriller!
- Review of Brian O’Sullivan’s, The Puppeteer
At the beginning, I had no idea what to expect down the line from the characters in The Puppeteer, although I definitely felt they were relatable, down to earth folks whose lives seem uncomplicated and filled with good times, until a personal tragedy strikes, making them all the more human and easy to connect to. Difficult to comprehend early on how the lives of such simple, decent, everyday people could ever become entwined with politics, murder, and mayhem. They do, however, and the author deftly guided me there in a way that was anything but trite or formulaic.
The tale of young Frankie, his sister Fiona, their doting mother Sally, and a longtime close friend of his father’s—and lifetime mountebank—known as Uncle Owen, is one that will capture and pique the curiosity of the reader from one page to the next and to the next, whether or not one has an interest in politics. On the way to the story’s political edge, which really does not surface until about the middle of the book, I got to know each character fairly intimately and started to care a lot about what fate would bestow upon them.
Given the historical context in the parallel stories of Uncle Owen and Darby Bowles, the latter having been born with numerous strikes against him who has to learn every lesson the hard way, I occasionally found myself forgetting I was reading a novel about events that were mainly taking place in the 21st century. Much of its content involves social issues that are as alive and well and painful today as they were in the 50s and 60s. Since I consider myself to be a very visually oriented person, I could vividly imagine the earlier time periods through the words of the storyteller, which build to a highly compelling, three-dimensional, contemporary political drama that mirrors much of today’s stinging political climate.
One notion that stands out in The Puppeteer is that regardless of the level of hard luck and misfortune heaped on a particular person, there is always at least one soul in the world who sincerely loves him or her or at the very least cares a great deal about their well-being. There are more than a few hard luck characters in The Puppeteer, and I was struck, although not surprised, at how, among them, the ones dealt the worst hand in life appeared to have the biggest hearts and deepest consciences.
The most disgusting, deplorable character in the story immediately reminded me of at least two prominent real-life, right-wing figures in politics today whose relationship to the current President of the United States has made many an American’s skin crawl. This ‘fictional’ character happens to be one of the most fortunate, yet least grateful, most hate-filled, incessantly power-hungry individuals in the nation, and the fact that he takes such immense pride in his own inner ugliness proves to be much more to his own detriment than he could ever have imagined.
The Puppeteer is a provocative, humorous, titillating, and disturbing narrative that would be a welcome live action film for the big screen, especially for anyone aching to see an original, up-to-date mystery thriller/political drama with something for everyone; romance, deception, suspense, violence, love, hate, and a big shout out to the growing power of social media, without which the heroes of this story might have ceased to exist. - O'Sullivan takes an absurd concept - that an ideologue media presence could be the puppeteer pulling the strings of DC power - and gives him a history and a context anyone can readily identify. The story goes from slow to hitting the wall at 130 mph for the last few chapters. The heroes are likeable and admirable and the bad guys are truly bad. One mystery remains unsolved; however. I'll see if I can pry it out of the author. Well done, sir,
