Select Praise
for
Magnificent Vibration:
“This is not the prose of a rock star who decided to try his
hand at novel writing, but of a novelist who just happens to
be a rock star.”—Variety
“With shades of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
(1979) and the clever, self-deprecating wit of Augusten
Burroughs and Max Barry, Springfield’s highly original work
is the rare antidote to the celebrity ghostwritten
books…Captivating, poignant, and hilarious,
Magnificent Vibration proves that some of the most
interesting stories can come from pretty unlikely places.”—Booklist
“Rick Springfield's fiction debut,
Magnificent Vibration, is a rollicking romp of a
book. His view of divine intervention may not be mine, but
his storytelling shines in this clever, entertaining – and
sometimes surprisingly enlightening – first novel.”—Mitch
Albom, author of the #1 New York Times
bestselling novel, The First Phone Call from Heaven
“Remarkably creative... Springfield delivers a
buckle-your-seat-belts ride... A readable comic meditation
on human frailty.”—Kirkus Reviews
“A surprising odyssey through the no man's land between
religion and pop culture, Magnificent Vibration is
by turns racy, sacrilegious, sweet, and sincere. If you've
been searching for a novel about God, sex, and the Loch Ness
Monster, Rick Springfield's irreverent debut is for you.”
—Peter Manseau, author of Songs for the
Butcher's Daughter
“Forget all the Old and New Testament tales. The Bible’s
latest installment, Magnificent Vibration, is a
thought-provoking and clever take on how the Almighty
actually runs the universe, or universes. God’s cell phone
number, personified sexual organs and a conclusion that is
surprising and dire, and somehow hilarious, are just some of
the madness that make Rick Springfield’s debut novel a
romp.”—Jon Methven, author of This Is Your
Captain Speaking
“Richard is a very naughty boy. Why can’t he write a nice
story? I don’t know why he's so obsessed with his private
parts. Rude child. I wish I'd had a daughter instead.”—
Eileen Louise Springthorpe (Rick’s mum)
