Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson

I have heard that the perfect man is imaginary, and in this book that is entirely true, but also to main character Jane, he is also real.  This book was such a surprise, as I am a Patterson fan and familiar with his twisted murder suspense novels, and even his jump into fantasy works; but who knew romance was up his sleeve?  The story was so original and as suspenseful as everything else he releases.  Good writing is good writing regardless of genre it appears.

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams

For some reason this book took me forever to read and I credit this to the fact that the plot was not all that captivating. The book jumped around a good deal (as did the first book, just more so with this second in the series), and some of the "episodes" were a little boring and drawn out. The positives were that the book was full of great characters (both returning and then some new side characters who were fun), riddled with humor, and the conclusion of this book makes me ache with anticipation to read the next; I am just hoping it is a little better than this one.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Quite amusing indeed.  The story was somewhat random, but that was all part of its charm.  The characters, and the scenarios were original, and it is clear that Douglas Adams was half part genius, and half part insane.  I think everyone should at least give this book a shot to see if it suits their fancy.

Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson

This book started off a little slow and very disjointed, hoping around different stories from different perspectives, more like a history lesson.  Then things started to get connected as the timeline progressed on the robot uprising and the book went from a little boring to phenomenal.  My words of advice for anyone wavering like I was and considered passing on this after trying to keep awake, is stick with it; it gets great.  Fantastic characters, exciting plot, great moments of suspense, and surprises; this book has it all…and robots.
