I agree about RP1. It was a very fast, quite fun read, but insofar as I categorize such things it was definitely more on the rainy-day-read end of the spectrum than the one-for-the-books end. Or to put it another way, I'd expect an extremely high rottentomatoes score and a positive-but-not-steller metacritic score. And as usual I'd be wrong, because everyone seems to love it!
