Resumen del Editor

After making an unexpected connection with God via his cell phone, one man embarks on an unlikely spiritual quest in this smart, savvy, rambunctious debut from 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 Cotton, asks as he sets off on an uproarious adventure to find his purpose in life. After serendipitously stealing a mysterious self-help book called Magnificent Vibration: Discover Your True Purpose from a bookstore, Bobby calls the 1-800 number scrawled inside the front cover, only to discover that he has a direct line to God - and that God likes to mess with him. Soon enough, Bobby finds an ideal companion for his journey - the breathtakingly sexy and exceedingly sharp Alice - and they set out to find some combination of spiritual and carnal salvation...and possibly save the planet.

Very engaging, enjoyed every chapter!

Rick certainly has a gift with colorful vocabulary. I enjoyed his narrative greatly. I actually caught myself laughing out loud several times. Keep them coming Mr. Springfield!

outrageous

Amazing, never read anything like it. Boggles my mind. Want more please, totally unexpected. PLEASE write more stories

Excellent narration

The narration is appealing for the context of the story, and teen ages of the plot.

A little out there but a good read

I had no idea what to expect from this book. Usually my reads are books that could really be true as in not sci fi but this story really grabbed me and I had to instantly download the second book. I wish I had someone to discuss it with.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Would you listen to Magnificent Vibration again? Why?

I bought this book bacause I wanted to get my picture taken with a Rock Star I'd had a crush on in high school. I started listening to it because it was read by the author. I kept listening because it grabbed me. I got invested in the characters and wanted to see what happened next. It was a weird roller coaster ride at times but always enjoyable. I would definitely listen to it again.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Magnificent Vibration?

The boat ride with “Skipper”.

Which scene was your favorite?

All of the calls to God but I really loved “Call me Arthur.”

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not really but it was nice to go back to it, I finished it in 3 days.

Any additional comments?

Having Rick read it was almost PERFECT. He just needs to work on the female voices.

Unexpected story

When I first started this, as much as I love Rick Springfield, I had doubts but took a chance for $6. By the end of the 8hr and 21ms, I found I had laughed out loud, sighed, was a bit angry, and even shed a tear (animal lovers will understand - no spoilers here.) It's one of those unexpected stories that caught my attention by chapter 3 and I couldn't stop till it was over. It does leave one with many questions, while it does have an end as well. Well done, Mr. Springfield both in the writing and the narration.

Awesome, but maybe time to listening and change.

I have read this book, but first time listening to audio. Rick did a superb job. Alternating his voice good, and you could hear the changes of laughter, sadness and fear. Today this story does not seem as far fetched as when it first came out. Today with the "C" going on, maybe we need to take stock of our world.

Magnificent!

Magnificent story & superbly presented by the author RLS💋LOVE listening to his voice!
More Please

Worth the read!

I love it! I'm glad this book came up in my searches! Not my typical but so worth it!

Colorfully written, entertaining, heavy ending

I really enjoyed this book, though it did take a little while to get into it. Rick has quite a talent with the use of unexpected, entertaining adjectives. I had some real belly laughs! There was definitely a deeper theme woven in between the humor. It was a helpful personification of God and His desires and character. I would definitely recommend it.
