"Serious and academic enough for a film studies class (attention, all you professors!), entertaining enough for any Springsteen fan -- we give it two thumbs up." - Chris Phillips, Backstreets.com
"Madden examines her subject with the eye of a scholar and the heart of a Springsteen fan." - Chris Jordan, The Asbury Park Press
"Caroline Madden offers a captivating analysis of the use of Springsteen's music in film and television and, by extension, the Boss's influence on forty years of popular culture. Springsteen as Soundtrack is a must-read for cinephiles and Springsteen fans alike." - Jonathan D. Cohen, author of Long Walk Home
"I highly recommend Caroline Madden's Springsteen as Soundtrack. The combination of Madden's outstanding writing style and her profound knowledge of soundtrack taught me something that brought joy to my heart. In reading her book, the soundtracks came alive and enriched as she expanded so many of the nuances I would have missed." - John Massaro, author of Shades of Springsteen
