Synopsis

After making an unexpected connection with God via a mysterious self-help book and a 1-800 number, one man embarks on an unlikely spiritual quest in this “remarkably creative” (Kirkus Reviews) novel from Grammy Award–winning musician and New York Times bestselling author Rick Springfield.

Why are we here? What is love? Is there a Loch Ness Monster? Does God send text messages? These are the kinds of questions Horatio Cotton, aka Bobby, asks in Magnificent Vibration.

After stealing a mysterious self-help book called Magnificent Vibration: Discover Your True Purpose from a bookstore, Bobby calls the 1-800 number scribbled inside the front cover, only to discover that he has a direct line to God. This launches Bobby on an unlikely quest, serendipitously accompanied by Alice, his breathtakingly sexy and exceedingly sharp travel companion. Together the pair sets out to find some combination of spiritual and carnal salvation—and possibly save the planet.

By turns hilarious, poignant, over-the-top, and deeply meaningful, Magnificent Vibration is a highly original tale about the biggest questions one man—or mankind—has ever asked.

3.5 Stars: Rick Springfield can write books along with singing “Jessie’s Girl”…..who knew? He’s a funny guy with an unusual view of God. I found Springfield’s God to be an interesting interpretation. I like to other’s ideas of God, life, and spirituality. This is a great book for that, although ther......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on June 08, 2014

Oh, my old friend, Rick, has written a terrible, terrible--albeit EXTREMELY well-written--book. No joke. Read this prose, suspend judgement: ""The blood-drained winter sun is an impotent, diffused ball hanging low and idle in the haze of a dawn sky. A light drizzle further filters out her anemic warm......more

Funny sad and thought provoking. It ended up somewhere completely different than I thought it was going, but that wasn't a problem. It was an absorbing read.......more

Goodreads review by Natalie on May 06, 2014

Magnificent Vibration is the beautiful brainchild of Rick Springfield's imagination with enough of his real life mixed in for authenticity. Despite what your dirty minds are thinking, the book is about a man who, newly-divorced, emasculated, and feeling he has nothing left to live for, comes across a......more
