A while back, I asked what book/s were still stuck on your current reading list, and I enjoyed the comments; I even got a few books added to my TBR pile for next year (tysm!). This time, what book did you read that was such a page-turner, you didn’t even realize you were on its last chapter?
Mine was Silence of the Lambs. I read it in my early teens, and back then, I was really into suspense/crime genres. Also, I’ve seen the movie beforehand (which I love!), and noticing the difference in storytelling between the two just piqued my interest. Before I knew it, I finished the book and started on Hannibal.
My recent favorite has been The Price You Pay. It’s an over-the-top, heavily stylized revenge thriller—imagine the literary equivalent of Kill Bill—with a distinct first-person voice and a decidedly modern sensibility. Non-stop action, a black sense of humor and a fun take on modern life, society and technology; all the fun of a great thriller but more intelligent and insightful than most of the genre.
