the one you couldn't put down

I'd like to know what your favourite book is. The one book that you just couldn't stop reading. Only one.

It's hard to pick one, but if I had to it would be The Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb. That book, plus the two after it in the series, I've read them so many times and my emotions are still tugged when I read it.

What's your favourite book?

I'd probably say my favourite is still 'Sybil' by Flora Rheta Schreiber. I haven't read a book since then that has kept me up for hours, until I could barely keep my eyes open. Plus it's just an extraordinary story. I loved every bit of it.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

I've heard lots about Twilight. What do you like about it in particular?

I think its just an interesting story... its a love story but its a thriller... probably I like most that its impossible and its real all at the same time... SM's writing can be a bit flowery at times, but I couldnt put it down, literally... I like reading about love and friends and family relationships... i seriously read Twilight in 1 day. I read the whole series (3 books follow Twilight) in 1 week. I was enthralled.

I'm going to break the rules and say two.

We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver - I think could have been the first really serious book that I've ever read.

and

James Frey - A Million Little Pieces - he has this totally unique way of writing that just hits you and keeps you enthralled.

I've added 'We Need to Talk About Kevin' to my list. It sounds very interesting; a type of book I would enjoy.
